Try a U PULL IT Junkyard.....

[Carrameow]

I dont know how many of you live near S Jersey, but I have really cut costs by going to U-PULL-IT yards. You really have to love these cars to go to one of these places on a Sunday afternoon wwhen you should be taking a walk with your daughter.
When i do find a good car, I take everything useable!!!
Parts I buy most often lately as my cars head to 300K:

AC Compressor (Believe it or not I have had a luck of with Pep Boys Compressors--they are good!!)
Wheel Bearings
Brake Pads
Trim and Interior Parts
a. Seats
b. Carpet
Shocks
Timing Chain rebuild kits

I am always under my hood, thats how I always know the condition of my car and feel safe driving it even cross country
