"Locating used auto parts is always an interesting hunt. Some people really you know, have a lot of expertise in doing this but from my experience that depending upon what you are trying to locate, probably your local wrecking yard would be your first choice. If it's a fairly recent model vehicle. Most wrecking yards only really specialize in parts that are from vehicles probably no older then fifteen years old and that may be pushing it in some instances. Wrecking yards also have a parts locating service so you can go to one wrecking yard and tell them what you are interested in finding and they can go in their hot line and actually find that part for you. Other ways to find used auto parts would be to go to publications like Hemming's Motor News, Old Cars Weekly, your local recyclers, Penny Saver. Even going online some of the websites will also indicate that, eBay is also another good source of used auto parts. But again you do have to be aware it's buyer beware sometimes especially, when you are buying from out of state people will not really give you a good description of the condition of the part that you really want to acquire so you should know who your buyer is and be you know careful about that and make sure that you can return the part or at least have good information as to who the buyer is, what their address is, can you get in touch with them and especially on eBay you actually have a you know evaluation of the seller there so that gives you some protection in many instances."
