Of course you need to verify that they are in good condition before buying and don't over pay just because the seller has some sentimental attachment or unreasonable expectations.
You're right. I like what you said and how you put it. And I must agree 100%. It's just that as I mentioned most of the times you saving $200 or even less. And what's $200 in $1500 (that's just how I look at it sometimes) also I rather spend that extra $200 than later on have to fix stuff and spend the same amount or even more. Although I concur with what you said. . . I'm gonna shoot for my first used car parts.
Ps- thanks a lot for the input.
