Do you guys opt for the original OEM parts or find cheaper alternatives? When you decide to use replacement parts, do you choose the quality trusted replacement brands or the non-branded China/Taiwan cheaper parts?
OEM - CASA priced, normally 10% discount
Quality branded parts - same as OEM but not high priced as opposed
China/Taiwan made parts - quality issues, but lesser than branded
Locally made - less quality than China/Taiwan best bargain
Pre-used parts - life span cut by 50%
Stolen parts - no warranties, use at our own risk
