Let us start with ease of obtaining. Obviously newer car parts will be easier to get than older ones. A friend of mine still has a 1975 Pontiac Lemans. To obtain parts for this car he has to literally go to junk yards and even online. No new car dealers keep parts beyond 10 years or so and even auto parts stores limit their inventory to cars under 20 years. A 30 year old vehicle is almost impossible to find parts for. Plus, if you can find the part, depending on where you get it, the cost could be anywhere from 20 to 100% over the original part cost. To say that late model car owners are taken advantage of would be a gross understatement.

Wrangler parts are as expensive as any other Jeep parts. It is recommended to fit only genuine parts in your Jeep since re-made and aftermarket parts void the vehicle's warranty. In case you don't want to spend much on part replacements for your Jeep Wrangler yet still don't want spurious parts, then it is best to go with cordova car. These are cheap, genuine parts that fit perfectly and don't void the warranty of your vehicle.

The good news is that it's easy to find cheap last minute airfares online. The main problem is finding them for the dates you want to travel, or for flights to your destination. So if you have very specific travel plans, you may not find a cheap last minute airfare. But if you can be a little bit flexible with your travel details, perhaps moving your travel plans forward or backwards by a day, then you might just get lucky.

In the past, looking for parts meant visiting junkyards, car recycling shops and even swap meets. In short, it was inconvenient. Today, you can still use those sources to find the parts you need. However, you can also submit a request through a number of online car dismantlers and spare parts dealers. What's more, you can do so from the comfort of your own home.

Yes, good old junk yards where most sales are cash and no refunds are available. The parking lot is loose gravel and the counter at the office is greasy and dirty. The prices are not set on a computer but the attendant sets the price when he is selling the part. A junkyard owner or manager sometimes will allow the buyers to remove the parts themselves making the price even lower. And of course, there is always the opportunity to negotiate a lower price for a part does not have a label and that is not registered in a computerized inventory.

Just like Duchamp used ready mades and called them art, such as his piece called the "Fountain" which was actually a used urinal, car parts and auto parts can be used as art ready mades. You can take an old bumper or hub cap and call it a piece of artwork. Just simply sign your name to it, put it on a platform, and you have yourself a ready made. Or take an old windshield and smear it with paint and you can be engaging in a type of performance art. Contemporary art can be so many things, and it can even go as far as to creating art from old car parts and auto parts. There is so much that can be done with these old vehicle parts. You can also use them for a science fair and do tests on old vehicle parts to compare how new parts function better than old used parts.
