Default 2nd hand scooby parts....

....i have been told that "gradeA parts" are the best to use?

i may need some coil packs and MAF etc, possibly, and didnt want to risk buying off ebay - is it safe to buy from gradeA does anyone know?

they seem ok to me but have no experience with them......

given the importance of MAFs you may be better off taking the hit and buying a new one. 2nd hand ones could turn out to be more expensive in the end..

I looked on scoobybits and there is a £15 saving per coilpack buying secondhand over new. Not worth getting them secondhand for that kind of saving.

been quoted £117 for gradeA for all 4 (used) and that comes with a 14 day gaurantee, tried and tested with NO cracks.....seems good to me???

(i know NEW is better, but this seems a good deal)

i suppose what people are saying that for the extra i dont know £120 you might spend on new items, could save you £thousands in the long run if they fail
