Should I Trust Truck Parts for Sale On Gumtree?

If you are looking for truck parts in Illawarra, you have probably taken a few quotes and you are now looking for new and second-hand parts to lower your costs.

There is nothing wrong with this, h owever, there is always a risk that comes with buying parts. Can you, or should you, trust the parts you find online?

Fake Truck Parts

You run the risk of buying fake parts when you buy online. If you buy from a website, or an online classified website like Gumtree, then there is very little you can do if you are ripped off.

You can try to sue to get your money back, but suing often takes so long, and you will have to pay to start the lawsuit, and it is a big hassle.

Poor Quality Parts

Buy online, and you may receive poor quality parts. This is true of most places you buy online, but there are degrees of risk.

For example, somebody on eBay with a good reputation will be less likely to sell you poor quality parts than a new seller or somebody with negative reviews.

People who run professional garages are less likely to sell poor quality parts for fear of losing future customers.  

You Just Don't Know

Let’s say you buy a gearbox online that is second hand.

It is likely that you will not know if the gearbox is even any good until you put it in the truck.

You never know what sort of quality you are going to get until you actually receive the item. 

There are honest sellers, and there are people offering a great deal simply because they do not need the parts anymore.

However, there is always a risk you will run into a less-than-trustworthy trader. 

Should You Take the Risk?

It all comes down to you taking the risk. Do you buy the part and risk it being a dud?
