Used car parts ???

Most of the time (from what I have been looking) you don't really save much. People always try to make their money back to what they spent when first bought it.
Example- I saw 2 coilovers for sales. One with 3K miles the other with about 15K i believe. Can't quite remember the brand names now but I remember checking the retail prices and it was only $200 difference on them with 0 miles on them. I have a friend that bought used coils and after a month of used they broke on him (he said.) Rims as long as they looking good I see no problem. Tires and others ? Not so sure. I just have the feeling that those are used parts. Someone beat on them as I'd like to when I have mine. Therefore they may not perform well as I'd like to. People buy because it may save $200 or more, but soon enough will need to service it.
I don't know. That's the feeling I have. Perhaps I'm wrong but that's why I asked you guys viewpoint in to begin with.
