Honestly, I don't mind putting only new parts on my favorite car, only parts that came from the factory. But since Opel Vectra is not the most popular car at the moment, so I have to make do with what is available. What car parts do you use - new or used?

I usually try to stick with new OEM parts, but sometimes availability forces me to use quality used ones. Recently, I upgraded my setup with some motec tuning for better engine management, and it completely changed how my car responds. Even with a rare model like the Opel Vectra, combining what’s available with precise Motec tuning made a noticeable difference in performance and drivability, proving that thoughtful upgrades can outweigh just sticking to factory parts.
