Suggestions for a realiable place to get Neon Body Parts?

    I had a little accident in my '95 Neon. I lost the front bumper, the
    reinforcement and various lights. I can have my salvage yard order me the
    aftermarket parts that I cannot scavenge myself but I see the prices online
    are cheaper.

    Has anyone bought body parts online? What were your experiences? Who did
    you use?

    I'm located in the Mpls/St. Paul area, but will buy from anywhere if I know
    a little bit about a company.

    I realize the car is a little old but it still runs great and fixing it will
    definitely be cheaper than monthly payments on new car.

    Thanks for any input,

    CM

  2. Me? I'd definately skip the parts yards. Case in point - you can get a
    factory radio for a 95 Neon from a parts yard - but they will try to gouge
    you $80 or more, claiming it is better than a Kendood(as if for such a
    budget vehicle).

    EBay has it going for $25-$30.

    My recommendation would be look there and at true junkyards/pick a part
    type places, or find one that has been totalled and buy it. $300 for a
    junked car(entire side or rear mashed in) that you can swap aprts off of
    is a great deal since you can sell the remains for $150-$200.
