Genuine Honda Car Parts are the Key to Reliable Performance

While Honda has a great reputation for reliability and performance, if you are tempted to try generic Honda car parts Perth drivers may be making a costly mistake. When it comes to Honda parts, Australia is filled with retailers offering generic and cheaper parts. While it may seem like an easy way to save a few dollars, you may find that you compromise the performance and efficiency of your Honda.

Genuine All the Way!

There are a number of reasons why you should choose genuine Honda car parts. Perth drivers should be aware that genuine parts have been designed and manufactured to the exacting Honda standards. This means that each component perfectly fits into the precision machine that is your Honda. All Honda parts are carefully tested to not only check the individual performance but to assess the interaction within the whole vehicle. This ensures that each replacement component functions at optimum performance levels, offering the reliability and durability you would expect from the Japanese auto giant.

The Potential Danger of Generic Parts:

When choosing generic Honda parts Australia based drivers may give little consideration to the potential danger associated with this decision. While state and national regulations may prevent dangerous parts from being sold by our retailers, this does not mean that there is no risk. Generic parts tend to be made from lower grade materials to keep the costs lower. This means that they tend to have a far shorter lifespan than a genuine part. This means that there is an increased risk of breakdown. You may be driving with total confidence that you only had a drive belt replaced 20,000 kilometres ago, only to find that it snaps and damages other vital engine components. This means that you could be faced with a garage bill totalling thousands of dollars. Since you are unlikely to have kept all the repair details from a small garage, you will struggle to have any kind of recompense. Fortunately, with genuine Honda car parts, Perth drivers can have the reassurance of the Honda National Parts Warranty.

It’s Only a Filter. Does it Matter?

Even the most basic of components matter to the reliable performance of your Honda. While filters may appear to be an insignificant component, they actually perform a vital function. A properly designed and fitted filter can prevent dirt, dust and other debris from entering the engine. Your fuel filter can even protect your Honda from any particles of debris contained in the pumps at your local service station from clogging up your engine. A cheap generic filter could compromise the performance of your vehicle, leading it to stutter and stall, just when you need acceleration.

Your Options for Honda Car Finance

If you considering buying a new or pre-owned Honda, you are likely to need some form of car finance. Perth drivers often find this topic to be confusing, but here is a basic guide to your options for Honda car finance. 

Hire Purchase:

Hire purchase is a similar type of finance to a mortgage on your home. You need to pay a deposit, then make payments over a period of time agreed in advance. Once the final payment is made and the balance has been settled, the car is yours. The main benefit of hire purchase is that it is simple to understand. There are no complicated terms and conditions; you simply pay the agreed deposit and monthly payments for the agreed term. The term usually runs for sixty months and generally you can cancel without penalty. However, you may find that if you cancel early, the amount owed may be more than the value of the car. The main disadvantage to this type of finance is that the payments are typically higher compared to other forms of finance. In effect, you are paying to hire the vehicle while you pay off the finance. You will often need a large deposit and plan to keep your car for longer than the HP term.

Personal Contract Purchase:

This is a common form of Honda car finance and has a great deal more flexibility. You can usually pay a deposit to suit your circumstances and take the loan over a shorter term. At the end of the contract, there is usually a proportion of the finance which has not been paid. This leaves you with several options; you can surrender the vehicle and treat the contract as if you had hired the vehicle long term, you can pay a balloon payment to settle the balance or part exchange for a newer vehicle, using the equity on the vehicle as the deposit for your new car. This tends to work out as the cheapest option for many private buyers. You are not tied into using the same dealership every time and you may be able to afford a more expensive vehicle without having a much larger monthly repayment. Some buyers use this option and either save to pay the balloon payment at the end of the term or take out another form of finance to cover the remaining balance, allowing them to retain full ownership of the vehicle. Many dealerships will also allow you the flexibility to increase your monthly repayment to reduce the amount of the final payment if you prefer. This flexibility means that you can tailor your finance to suit your current financial circumstances.

Regardless of the type of car finance Perth drivers should always check the terms and conditions of the deal. Some plans have hefty penalties for early repayment, which can make even the most attractive deal potentially very costly should your circumstances change.
