Audi Used Spares | Used Audi Parts

Audi has an extensive range of models and finding good quality Audi used spares can be difficult. It is important to note that when buying used Audi spares you are relying completely on the used spares salesman you are dealing with on the other end of the phone. He can only go on the information that you provide him with and therefore make certain that you have all the correct information at your fingertips.

The more accurate the information you supply the motor scrapyard sales man the better your chances will be of finding the correct part for your motor car. Information such as the make, model, series, year model, VIN and engine number, which can be found on your vehicles licence disc as well as the correct name of the type of car part that you require.

By taking a photograph with your cell phone is always a good way to make sure that there is no confusion between yourself and the used parts salesman who is assisting you with your enquiry regarding the parts description and it will help him to more easily identify the part as he can zoom in on his cell phone and see the picture in detail. On the other hand you can always ask the salesman to send you a picture of the part he has in stock.

Audi used spares are readily available at general motor scrapyards and used spares suppliers or suppliers that specialize in Audi motor vehicles. There are many of these motor vehicle scrap yards who dismantle Audi’s for their valuable good used motor spares and accessories throughout South Africa.

When making an enquiry at such an Audi used spares supplier or motor scrap yard always make sure that you know who you are dealing with as the internet is not always a safe place to trade and by doing a few simple checks you can alleviate much unnecessary stress. Google the company name, street address and telephone number to see if that checks out.

When buying Audi motor spares from an unknown supplier without a fixed address always meet at a busy shopping centre or even at a police station. Always dictate the terms and conditions if possible. Do not make internet payments to unknown suppliers unless you know who they are.
