What are second-hand parts?

Second-hand parts are parts that were previously installed on a car that has been scrapped. Although the car ended up at the car breaker, parts of it may well be in perfect working order.

For instance, parts that are newer than the car. In other words, parts that were changed during the car’s lifetime. It could also be parts from a car totalled in an accident. For instance, if a car is hit from behind, many parts in the front end are often undamaged.

Behind Mercedes

The car brand Mercedes-Benz belongs to the German corporation Daimler AG. It was formed from the merger of Karl Benz’s and Gottlieb Daimler’s companies back in 1926. However, the history of Mercedes actually goes all the way back to 1886. That was when Karl Benz made the first car with an internal combustion engine.

The name Mercedes derives from a car model manufactured by Daimler at the very beginning of the 20th century. It was named after Emil Jellinek’s daughter. Jellinek was the engineer of the first model, which was also given the name Mercedes in 1901. The name stuck and has since become the name of the car brand itself, as we know it today.

Innovation

Over time, the company came up with a wide range of exciting inventions, and soon everybody in the car business was using them. In fact, many of them are still used today, such as:

• The internal combustion engine
• Airbags
• ESP (Electronic Stability Programme), which helps to prevent skidding
• EBA (Emergency Brake Assist), which helps the driver to brake in an emergency

High-quality luxury

Mercedes mainly manufactures luxury cars. The target group is typically business people, CEOs and wealthy people choosing a stylish design and a comfortable cabin, as well as a good quality car that is reliable and makes it bearable to drive many miles every year.

This description fits well with Mercedes-Benz. A new survey has found the car brand to be among the four most reliable brands. Another survey for Reuters showed that Mercedes has the lowest number of recalls among all car brands throughout history.

Another important characteristic is the design, which always takes pride of place at Mercedes. In 2016, for instance, the new Mercedes E-Class won the prestigious Red Dot Award for its innovative headlamp design.
