The Complete Guide to Purchasing Used Car Engines Locally or Online

Some factors to consider before buy used engine include the parametrization of the engine with respect to the car-namely, the VIN or make, model, and year of the car. Search local junkyards and stores with similar measurements. Speak with a salesperson and ask, “What about mileage?” “Does it pass compression tests?” “What about warranty period?” Another option is to order online directly, but protect yourself by checking the seller’s reviews/ratings as well as their return policy. Try eBay, LKQ, CarPart.com, etc. In any case, check for compatibility and warranty, be they online or local. Caution will save you money and also extend a driver’s life.
