Why do some used parts are more expensive than the new? Explanations by PRO VSP

More expensive parts in new: an idea received to be nuanced

It is not uncommon to see on PRO VSP some Occasion parts displayed at a rate slightly higher than a new part. This may seem illogical at first glance, but in reality, this price difference is easily explained.

Most of the time, the new piece proposed at a lower price is a adaptable roomit's-at-say a compatible reproduction manufactured by another industrial that the original manufacturer. The second-handshe is a original room Disassembled with a vehicle without a license and having already served, but directly from the official manufacturer. It is this distinction - adaptable vs. origin - which sometimes justifies a different rate.

What-what a real used piece at PRO VSP ?

All the Occasion parts PRO VSP come exclusively from vehicles dismantled by us. Before any put online, each piece is controlled, checked and traced to ensure its authenticity and reliability.

This preparation work ensures our customers a quality level close to the new, while preserving the original nature of the product.

Unlike some ideas received, a second-hand is therefore not a "worn" or random product: it is above all a original room Reset and ready to take back the road on another vehicle.

How is the price of a used piece?

The price of a used room PRO VSP is not arbitrary. It is based on the manufacturer rate of the original part, and not on that of an adaptable product. In other words, if the original new piece is sold expensive, its used version will be calculated proportionally - hence the impression sometimes the price is closer to a new version adaptable.

Other important detail: the second hand parts Are not subject to VAT, which also affects the price displayed and can create a visual gap between different product categories.

May-We find everything from occasion?

No, and that's quite normal. Some second hand parts are almost not found, including body elements. The reason is simple: Security.
