As others have said, it depends on what parts you are talking about. For parts that wear and/or receive a lot of stress and/or are critical for safe operation, your worries are justified. For those parts that don't really wear (eg, body and interior panels, tower braces, intake, exhaust, &c) there's nothing wrong with used/remanufactured/refurbished.

You're not wrong but I think you may be trying to carry it a bit too far. If you want new parts and can afford them, go for it. If you are on a budget, don't be afraid of "pre-owned" parts, keeping in mind the exceptions above. Of course you need to verify that they are in good condition before buying and don't over pay just because the seller has some sentimental attachment or unreasonable expectations.
