Thread: Ebay Parts?

Has anyone bought any? Im not talking lights and cosmetics, like sensors and the important stuff for the engine.. I need a new knock sensor and its like 45$ at autozone w/o warranty, but on ebay for 15$ shipped with warranty. Should I go for ebay?

I know I post alot with alot of noob questions, but I dont like wasting my time or money experimenting so that's why.

e bay is ok if your buying well known name brands for cheap. dont buy cheap brand sensors, they wont last long.

I don't buy eBay parts when it comes to something mechanical. Headers yes because they've been proven to work. Sensors heck no. Get them from a part store so in case it's faulty it's just a drive away. Go through advance... Use a coupon code and call it a day.

I use rockauto.com for anything OEM. great prices. And I did use eBay for upper control arms for my honda. They seem to be holding up alright. Check the feedback before buying.

Rockauto is another go to source. I usually price match with advance (using a online coupon code) and see the difference if I can wait and advance doesn't stock it. RA it is. If advance has it..I avoid shipping and walking my happy tail across the street and go pick it up.

if i buy ebay it needs to have a gm symbol on it or be from a good brand at good price. Ebay can work out nicely for some ppl.
