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.
When you decide that you need this very important auto part, you will have to first find one that will fit into your car. This may mean going to your local electric radio controlled boats store or even going into the junk yard for it. These auto parts can also be very expensive and, if you are doing the work yourself, hard to put into the car.
There is also a lot of enhancement that can be done through body modifications. There are numerous kits that take the guesswork out of getting the parts that you need. Select a price range and then check out the online stores. They will sell kits that have all the parts necessary for successful installation. No more running back to the auto parts store two or three times because you did not know you needed a certain bracket or bolt.

Nobody wants a ticket, especially when it doesn’t even seem to be their ‘fault.’ And headlights are one of the first things officers can see and know they have a reason to pull the vehicle over. Don’t be one of those drivers. The other, far more important reason to fix a headlight as soon as it’s noticed is safety. When driving it’s vital to have a vehicle that operates at its best capacity, especially in regards to visibility.
If you are considering this as a fun at holidays, it is recommended to go for basic models of RC cars. However, if this seems like a serious hobby to you, you must definitely explore. It is not difficult to learn the working of RC cars. With practice, you can exploit your fluency.
As for the price of auto parts, aside from the age of the vehicle there is the make and model. In this case foreign car parts are much more expensive than domestically made cars. Most people who buy foreign cars don’t realize this or even think about it until it comes time to get their vehicle repaired. Then they get hit with the bill and their eyes pop out of their head. For example, an oil filer for a 2005 Buick Century is about $2.98. The same oil filter for a Honda CRV is $3.98. It’s basically the same filter for the Honda but it costs $1.00 more. That comes out to a 33% markup on a relatively cheap part. Imagine that same 33% markup on a part that costs $60 for the Buick. You’d be paying about $80 for the same part for the Honda.
