but dont wanna go to a junkyard only to find they dont have what you need?


I found this website, and quite frankly, it rocks.

www.car-part.com

you can search for any part, then haggle with the dudes on the phone for a damn good price!

This might be as old as the internet, but i just found it.

For example, im buyin AMG calipers for my benzo... 400 a peice from the dealer. This place? 125 each. Holla!

I just got a rear subframe shipped up from north carolina... Mine was just in too bad of shape to save thanks to NY salty roads. It's waiting for me at the fedex depot right now...

Yes, I agree, that site is amazing.

I found an 89 NA way out in the middle of nowhere (the "town" is a gas station), the junkyard owner cared less for it and was selling the bumper for 25 bucks, and other pieces for dirt cheap if I wanted them.
Most other junkyards I'v found only have pre89s and the cars are thrashed and not much is left that is worth taking.

Same here, I found one that had 5 other cars stacked on top of it. Nothing worth jack, only thing I found was a part for the center consol that I needed. Took some digging but I got it.
I just found me an R154 thats near me in a junkyard, I think I might go grab it this weekend.
