Car repairs are always unpleasant. Even minor parts that need to be replaced are an inconvenience because they siphon away your limited time. When your fuel filter, catalytic converter, or alternator fail, the experience becomes far less pleasant. Not only do those components cost more, but the labor involved in replacing them can add hundreds of dollars to the final bill. This is the reason mechanics will often ask whether you would like the failing components replaced with rebuilt, remanufactured, or used auto parts.

There are pros and cons to each. Below, I'll explain what each option offers and their respective drawbacks. I'll then explain why OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) certified parts are usually the best choice.

What Does "Rebuilt" Mean?

Parts that are rebuilt are a combination of original pieces and those that have been used to replace failing pieces. For example, suppose your alternator shows signs of failing. It is actually made up of multiple individual pieces, including several terminals, a voltage regulator, and a diode rectifier. A failure might be due to a single piece. If that's the case, you can have the mechanic simply replace the individual piece that failed to get your car back on the road.

Sometimes, mechanics will use a core. This happens when the failing component from your vehicle is worn to the point that it cannot be rebuilt. The core is taken from another car and the bad pieces are replaced.

One of the drawbacks to rebuilt car parts is that the replacement pieces will be new while the rest of the component will have experienced some wear and tear. The disparity can potentially introduce heat stress and other problems. Moreover, the original alternator (in our example) may still fail in the near future.

Buying Used And Taking Your Chances

A lot of consumers choose used auto parts because they're less expensive than rebuilts and remans (which we'll explore in the following section). These components usually come from salvage yards. The advantage is price. Depending on the piece you're buying, you can expect to save up to 50% from the retail price of a new equivalent.

The downside is that you can never be certain regarding the quality or durability of the piece you're buying. Depending on the upkeep of the yard, moisture and rust may have caused hidden damage. If you're only buying a knob for your car stereo or gearshift, there's very little risk. On the other hand, buying a used alternator is a bad idea - even if it comes with a limited warranty.

Used car parts have their place, especially if you're purchasing simple pieces. For complex components, stick to rebuilts and OEM-certified remans.

Remanufactured Components: Worth The Investment?

Remanufactured parts (or, remans) are components that have been rebuilt to OEM standards. They're completely disassembled so every piece can be cleaned and inspected for wear and tear. Any individual pieces that show wear are replaced. Often, remans are entirely new with the exception of the component's shell (i.e. core).

The advantage to using remans is that they're built with a much higher level of quality than rebuilts. The reason is because they need to meet OEM standards before they're installed. Plus, due to the higher quality, they usually come with longer warranties. The drawback is that they cost more.

So, which option is best? Your decision will ultimately rest on the type of component you're replacing and your budget. As noted earlier, simple pieces can be purchased at salvage yards if you're willing to invest the time. More complex pieces that have failed (i.e. alternator, fuel pump, catalytic converter, etc.) should be replaced with OEM-certified remans.

OEM replacements trump the other options because they're built by the same manufacturer as that which built the original part. If you're willing to spend the extra money, that will give you an extra level of comfort and peace of mind.

Remanufactured vs. Used: What Should You Put in Your Taurus?

In an economy that doesn't allow for the easy borrowing of money that is required to purchase a new vehicle, it is imperative for smart consumers to minimize the cost of operating their existing vehicles. The smart consumer will look to lower their overall cost of operation, while the short sighted consumer will look to spend as little money as possible now – often doubling or tripling their overall cost of vehicle operation.

 

In this article, we'll look at one of the most commonly replaced Ford motors - the Ford Taurus engine – with the goal of determining whether you should be looking at remanufactured Ford engines, or used engines. We'll examine the pros and cons of both product types, and help you figure out what the right Ford car engine will be for your needs.

 

The first premise you need to understand is that all remanufactured Ford engines come from used Ford engines. There is no way around that. In fact, if you purchase a reman, ninety-nine times out of one hundred, you will be required to send a "core" back to the company you purchased from. The core is you old, broken engine, and the reason they want it back is so that they can run it through their factory and come out with a new engine. There are wildly varying degrees of end results – you have highly reputable companies like Jasper engines all the way down to companies that seem to open and shut down overnight. Typically, quality remanufactured Ford engines will be big bucks.

 

The second premise you need to understand is that there is no need to run a lot of engines through the factory that get run through it, and many Ford motors that are run through are just too far gone to be effectively remanufactured. What is the point of remanufacturing a Taurus engine with 20,000 miles on it? Such an engine is hardly even broken in. Likewise, a 15 year old Taurus engine that has never had its "long life coolant" changed could have so much corrosion around intake ports and in the cooling channels that it could never be effectively remanufactured.

 

For our last premise, you need to understand that there is no method for determining what the best option is 100% of the time. Take what we talk about, and use it to help guide you in your decision. I'll explain the general rule of thumb, give you a few exceptions to the rule, and let you go from there.

 

Having been in the business for almost a decade, my general rule of thumb when trying to recommend a remanufactured or rebuilt Taurus engine is that if I can find an engine with less than 60,000 miles on it for 60% or less the price of a remanufactured engine, I will buy that used engine.

 

Exceptions to this rule come into play if we're dealing with a motor of excessive age. A 20 year old used engine fitting the above description will most likely be fine, and I would put one in my own vehicle. But when talking to a customer who is looking for an engine for their family vehicle, I would recommend they pursue remanufactured Ford engines unless the used engine in question was in impeccable condition, and available at an exceptionally good price. A further exception would be based on warranties.

About the Author

I would never buy a used engine with less than a year warranty, and never buy a remanufactured ford engines with less than a three year warranty. Further, you should carefully research any engine company you're thinking of buying from with the BBB, before you purchase.
