Check the photo against your old part

Every new matching ad becomes a card with the photo, the title, the price in KM and a button into the ad. You can usually tell from the picture whether connectors and mounting points look right before you even open it.

A common mistake: searching only the part name

Type „alternator“ alone and you will get alternators for every car in the country. Type only the car model and you get every part ever stripped from it. The searches that work combine both: the make and model, plus the part, or better, the part number stamped on your old one. Breakers in Bosnia often put the number in the title for exactly this reason.

If you are not sure of the exact name, run two searches with different wording and let the hashtags tell you which one finds the real matches.

Why a photo in the alert matters for parts

Two headlights for the same model can differ by year, by xenon or halogen, by left or right. A Telegram card shows the photo up front, so you can compare it with your own part and skip the wrong ones without opening a single ad. When a part looks right, forward the card to your mechanic and ask before you call. Keep one search per part, and delete it the day you buy, so the chat stays about what you still need.

Questions to ask a parts seller

Ask which car it came from, the year and the mileage, and whether it was tested before removal. For electronics, confirm the part number matches yours, since coded units may need programming. Ask whether the seller accepts a return if it does not fit. Look at the part before paying when you can, and be careful with requests for advance payment on parts sent by post from someone you do not know.
