Owning a used Japanese automobile can be a rewarding experience. Most brands of cars built in Japan are capable of lasting great distances before they finally wear out. The most important way to make sure your older car will continue to thrive in its high mileage years is knowing how replacement car parts can affect how your car runs.

How can one worn-out car part cause bigger problems for a high mileage car?

Replacement of failing parts is important because they can cause problems and have a negative effect on other parts of your car. For instance, worn tires, clogged air filters, burned-out spark plugs, or malfunctioning oxygen sensors can increase the strain on a high mileage motor and cause major damage if not replaced. Why replace an otherwise solid, comfortable car, when a small, inexpensive part was all that needed to be replaced?

Can’t I find good replacement parts at the local auto parts store?

Not only do you want to replace parts that are worn out, but you want to obtain those parts at a price that won’t cost more than your used car is worth. Many parts houses will sell you replacement parts, but those parts are often substandard. Not only will they cost more than they’re worth, but, like worn out parts, low-quality replacement parts can cause problems with other, vulnerable parts of an older car. To avoid inferior parts that end up costing more than they’re worth, many owners of high mileage Japanese vehicles are turning to second-hand parts.
