Tips for buying car parts
By Jeff Lakie
Car repair and refinishing can be an expensive hobby. Whether you fix
the cars of family and friends, or have a clunker that you want to turn
into a head-turning show car, you have to put out a fair amount of
money to buy car parts. What follows, though, is a step by step
method of finding inexpensive car parts to help keep your hobby in
budget.
1. Put an advertisement in the classifieds of a local newspaper or
local penny-saver paper that you are looking for fellow car
enthusiasts to team up with to find inexpensive car parts. Give
your name and number and tell them you're looking to form a
club.
2. When the car enthusiasts respond your advertisement, tell
them your idea: that you form a discount car parts club so that
you call can save money by filling the minimum purchase order
on bulk car part purchases. Get a list from them of the parts
they need to fix their cars, and add it to the list of parts you
need.
3. Go online to an inexpensive or wholesale car parts site by
typing "cheap car parts" or "wholesale car parts" into the
search line of your browser. Many of these places have a
minimum order of only a couple hundred dollars (or sometimes
even less!) So you shouldn't have any problem filling the order.
Sometimes, these minimum order quantities mean you also get
free shipping and warranties on the parts!
4. When the parts arrive, call the car enthusiasts in your discount
car parts club and have them pick up the order and drop off
the payment payment. They'll be surprised at how much they
saved and you may be able to get another order from them.
If a venture like this is very successful, it could lead to an enjoyable
money making hobby where you act as a parts-ordering middleman
for local car part enthusiasts.
If the only thing stopping you is whether or not you can trust the
people who respond to your ad, simply get something from them in
writing to say that they will reimburse you when the part arrives.
Car part buying can be an expensive part of a fun hobby. But if you
can find a few people to help buy parts in bulk, you can reduce your
costs¡ and that will increase your fun!
