imo marketing ploy....sure if you have a money you can get the P30k worth ac compressor - lifetime warranty ba ang P30k?
madali mo naman makita kung recon (dahil merun damage sa body - gasgas or whatever tell tale signs of reconditioned). Besides isn't reconditioning is a form of recycling?!? isn't recycling good?!?
when properly done, reconditioning or remanufacturing will be as good as brand new.
