If there is a problem with a part of your car, a good mechanic can sell you the new part for a fairly good price. People go into car mechanics for all sorts of reasons. People will visit for need new oil, new wheels, a flat tire, among other reasons.
This is one of the most ridiculous but common scams I’ve heard off. Basically the dealer offers to window etch your VIN number in the window of your car for you, at a price ranging from $300 to $1000. Some people have tried to talk down the price, and they often succeed, but the dealer still makes a few hundreds off you. The easiest way to solve this problem? Just purchase a do it yourself window etching kit at any decent 1995 jeep wrangler. It only costs $20.
The dealer charges you a preparation fee to prepare your car. Some often charge an outrageous $500 or more just to peel off the plastic protection on the car, test drive the car and put in the fuses. Most MSRP stickers indicate that these costs have already been covered by the manufacturer. In fact, some car dealers permanently print it on the buyer’s order to make it seem mandatory, but one way you can get it removed is by telling the dealer to add a credit (of the same amount as the dealer preparation fees) on the next line. If they refuse to do so, you should simply walk out of the dealership.
As said, it is not easy to find classic car parts, but I hope you at least have some ideas about where to start after reading this article. Remember to always be meticulous and careful, you might just waste your money and effort on a wrong part.
Daily they are on eBay, Craigslist and any number of other websites searching the used go cart tabs. They buy off road go carts, racing and even plastic cart frames with metal bars.

Let’s say you buy a used motorcycle part and save yourself ten dollars. The price you paid was forty dollars for a part that would have cost you only sixty dollars new. Sure, it might have been a “gently used” or &”almost new” part, but how do you know for certain? You could have that part on your bike for a week, it could break and then you are stuck buying the part all over again. This is not beneficial to your wallet or to your time schedule. You certainly want to do much more with your bike than do nothing but work on it.
