used parts
Previously installed pieces
Used parts are components salvaged from vehicles, machinery, or equipment that have been previously owned or operated.
The term appears most often in automotive contexts—engines, transmissions, body panels removed from wrecked or retired cars and resold: The mechanic found used parts at a salvage yard.
Used parts offer a cheaper alternative to new replacement parts, though with less predictable remaining life.
