Just wondering where most people buy their parts for their rolla's?

I've bought a few things from Rock Auto.

junkyard.... nothing like cheap OEM parts in mint condition

Gen7s are plenty in the yards, at least that of Standard in the east.

For a gen8, junkyards still wants a bundle. So for small parts, dealer; big parts, online. But I'll probably end up back and a junkyard anyway, like that fog stalk, bumper, tranny...

rockauto.com for almost everything. they consistently impress me with their prices.

It depends on what I'm buying, who has it in stock and who has the best price.

I bought one thing (a cam positioning sensor) from Rock Auto, and it didn't work. 0/1 isn't a good record for me, so it's to the junkyard and NAPA.

hmm.. come to think of it i've never purchased electronics from rockauto.. I will keep that in mind if i ever do.

Dealer for basically everything. 8th gen's dont exist in junkyards in my area. i'd actually be shocked to see one.

autozone is your bestfriend!

8th gens don't exist in anyone's junkyard. I found three in my entire state, and that's searching over 15 junkyards.

I don't buy anything OEM, so ebay, craigslist, or off another member.

Depending on what parts I'm on a hunt for. Pretty much I go where the prices are well reasonable. Also sometimes junk yards are your best friends especially when there are deals that goes on. Take anything for a flat price. come out with a few hundred dollars worth of stuff for under $100. Tigger and I will never go to Crackhead Tire ever again. Especially the one near my house. I'm beginning to wonder if they were on crack!
