22:12:47","description":"This is insane for the NAMIC to blame their use for aftermarket parts on saving $3B a year. Absolutely ludicrous. If people were TOLD they were having old parts added to their car, most would surely prefer to pay a bit more to have all new OEM parts added to their car. And you really think they are saving us a bunch of money on our premiums by using aftermarket\/used parts?! Bullcrap! They are not cutting our premiums after this implementation, they are pocketing every penny and charging us the same as usual. This should absolutely be against the law. Probably a reason the auto industry has suffered in recent decades, to be honest. Maybe they should consider getting patents on every single part on a car, maybe even allowing manufacturers of complete cars to use the patent without paying a royalty. Just a thought. That way aftermarket parts couldn't be produced and the insurance companies will have to go OEM no matter what. Wouldn't used parts void a manufacturer warranty? I bet insurance companies don't pick up the slack there, huh. Just outrageous. I mean, I'll never drive a car under 10 years old because I'm not a sucker who takes on car loan debt, so I'll probably never care much for used\/aftermarket parts...unless we're talking crash safety parts. I would hope that there's a law to use brand new crash-safety parts at least. But knowing insurance companies, I doubt that. Tell you what, if a used part causes your next crash, I would sue sue sue! Take that giant settlement and retire early.","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Spaethon","url":""}}]},{"@type":"BlogPosting","@id":"https:\/\/consumerinsuranceguide.com\/auto\/will-self-driving-cars-self-insuring\/","headline":"Will
