Car parts

Does anyone know any good sites for used car parts? I check the local salvage shop every now and then - but they never seem to have what I need.

the only 2 places i know of to buy used parts are junk yards and eBay.

Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market ,they usually have some good parts... I'd suggest googling the subject, you'll find tons of hits...

With Tootie, my VW, I have started looking on Ebay and some specialty bug shops. I tend to have better luck on Ebay in terms of price.

^yeah, e-bay FTW(for the win), but you just have to be careful...

for the most part, I've gotten really good deals off of there...

I have a question. Why does it cost so much more to get your car parts from a dealer? I can't believe the differenc e in the price. They have to be making a killing on their parts.

oem products come at a premium. i will say that all oem parts are top notch pieces. some of which are better than any non-oem part.

Sometimes that is quite the opposite,some OEM parts can be worse than aftermarket parts. OEM brake pads aren't always the best. I usually swap my brakes out for ceramics. They're usually semi-metallic (IIRC) and create lots of dust and have bad brake fade (if you drive hard).

Although I do (generally) agree with your statement. Like on the Mitsubishi's, never use an aftermarket throw out bearing. The stock ones are the best that you can use. I tore some stuff up using aftermarkets, and they make a lot of noise right before going out.
