I had an accident and need to replace some body parts. Anyone know sites I can look at to get parts for reasonable price?

I’ve just been looking at craigslist and may expand the search father, I’m also wondering what sites you guys use.

For your part numbers go to REALOEM.com and I have found fcpeuro.com to be very competitive with their pricing. May have to call them on body panels. Best to have your full vin number if you are going to call them for a price quote, to ensure they quote on correct part.

I use them for maintenance stuff. They charge basically dealer price for body and other stuff...trying to get it cheaper.

You may have to start visiting some junkyards.

There's also Dell's and Novella's in Danbury.

For body parts I use car parts wholesale if I can't find it at a junk yard. If you have someone to paint it will be cheaper. If you don't have someone you know that paints and you have to go to a collision shop your best bet is to find it in the color needed at a junkyard. Check

I know, I’m trying to find it in the same color. One auto shop quoted me $1k to paint a fender because they had to blend. It’s really not worth $1k to me. I’ll just take my time looking for the parts. Car looks ugly but I’m ok with it since it drives perfectly fine.
