Owners of used cars warned against buying one spare part
General Director of UK K-Group Mikhail Martynov spoke about what purchases are best not to make when buying used cars.
Thus, according to the expert, it is worth refraining from buying an engine, especially one that has been used before.
In a conversation with Avtovzglyad , Martynov explained: “A used engine is cheaper, but it is a pig in a poke.”
According to the analyst, such components often fail after at least a week or a month and at most after several years.
What is important to remember
Martynov also noted: “A new engine is expensive, but it eliminates the need to take risks.”
In addition, the expert emphasized that some cars will require engine repair, rather than replacing it with “non-original” spare parts.
According to analysts, this feature is typical of cars of Korean brands.
According to Martynov, it is also important to remember the legal consequences of such an acquisition, since each engine has a number that is important for registering the vehicle.
