New vs Remanufactured

[jleger98]

of course I would split the 50% with Sparis and the others who contributed to the thread

I look at it that all of the stuff has been fixed and revamped to be even better Anyone seen the dualpro chargers refurbed?

[spharis]

You have to wiegh the pros and cons.....Sure it is probably fully benched, and worked, but it will usually come with no type of warranty outside 30 days vs. a new one with a 3year or something. So you can buy 1 new one, or 2 used.....I choose 2 used.

[Domsz06]

yeah, if the warranty is there, I'll normally buy used.

The way i look at it, the shorter the warrenty, the cheaper the reman needs to be. Buying a reman at 50% off retail is great, unless it is something that has to removed and installed, then I will have to factor in my time.

Example: I just put in a 2nd transmission in my son's Jeep. 1st was a bone yard gear box for $900 3 years ago. This time I priced out rebuilding it my self ($700), reman ($900 w/18 month warrenty), or new ($2800 w/12 month warrenty)

I went w/the reman, $200 savings V's saving time and 18 month warrenty, couldn't pass up.

I agree that Refurbs are the way to go! I have never had any problems with any refurb purchase -- have more problems with new.

[Domsz06]

i agree with you MOKI

Why not? I just bought this from Xantrex remaned for $65 shipped via eBay, msrp was $189 new!

[Domsz06]

I think I will, seems pretty good deal to me.

[jleger98]

I managed to find one reman'd for 179. So 185 is right in the ballpark.
