Family economics has shown that the priority of a buying a new car has dropped from 3rd place to 11th place on the list of needs. The average price of a new vehicle today is R200,000 which can be 60 percent of the average family’s yearly income. Buying a used vehicle can cost R100,000 or better. This expense may be a financial burden for some households. With new technology, the life expectancy for most vehicles has greatly increased. Half the vehicles on the road today are 10 years or older. For a few thousand rands a family vehicle can be equipped with a rebuilt engine, ultimately eliminating the costly options of a new or used vehicle.
For years the remanufactured engine has been a product that is environmentally responsible. By recycling damaged engines in mass quantities and rebuilding them, precious natural resources are saved. Most of the cost for an engine lies in the labour and raw materials used to produce the original engine. Rebuilt engines require 80 percent less energy than a new engine to remanufacture and costs thirty to fifty percent less because the majority of the product is the salvaged core. Remanufactured engines are green in two ways by saving natural resources and valuable rands. By performing more efficiently, the rebuilt engine is kinder to the environment and to the consumer’s budget.
With today's economic troubles, when looking at cars for sale, we need to consider the best way to make our money go further. In addition to tax, preparation charges, and whatever other charges the dealer will add, we need to think about what you are paying for insurance and how that will go up. Consider also, that fact that the moment we drive the car off of the lot, we have already lost money. Maintaining our car and carefully replacing parts will allow us to ensure that we are getting the most value for our money. A major decision will be to replace our engine with a rebuilt engine. If the rest of our car is in relatively good shape, a remanufactured engine will help us to save money and ensure that our car has the highest quality components.
Rebuilt engines (or remanufactured engines) have undergone a complete restoration. This means that the basic block head, crank and connecting rods have been reused but remanufactured to OEM specifications. The pistons, rings, bearings, gaskets and seals, oil pump, timing and valve train components have all been replaced with new parts.
Many original OEM manufacturing flaws in the engine can be diagnosed and corrected, thus resolving the engine’s initial reason for failure. Expect the rebuilt engine to equal or exceed the performance of the original engine as the replacement components are more up to date than the parts they replace. An extensive warranty accompanies each rebuilt engine further instilling consumer confidence in remanufactured engines.
