Factory Mazda Parts

[jk7d]

Hey there ,

Does anyone know of good places to order factory mazda parts from? Price is a big issue as always. I just hit a deer after 6k but thankfully the insurance gave me over $5k to fix it so Iam ordering as much aftermarket as possible but stuff like fenders and aprons have to come from Mazda.

Go Wahoos!

I am not sure but for those big items I would think that getting them at a LOCAL mazda dealer would be your best bet as shipping would probable eat up any savings from a dealer that isn't in your state or near enough for you to pick them up from.

 

[jk7d]

Yes Sir

I think that would happen too,

although I hate paying double their cost. I called around the mid atlantic region and the prices do differ significantly dealer to dealer. maybe i'll do what i did when i bought the car - call up the dealership that I deal twith on the purchase and tell them to match the price on the lowest price I found. when they realized what exactly they sold me last time they weren't too happy with the price they gave me. If the dealer ever asks you: "Who gave you the invoice?" tell him it's the other dealership you're dealing with. They won't respond with: " uuhhh, edmunds and Cons Report's numbers are wrong !!!! ur dumb and we will give you the shaft - so bend over"

Haha

U should ve seen the sales manager's face the day I picked up my car (after s/else purchased the blue one on the lot for 3k more)

parting out '02 protege5

yeah.... regarding the Insurance.... They said the car was a 'total loss', so I bought it from the insurance as a 'salvaged' car.

And Now Im trying to sell the whole thing, or just Part-it-Out..

As for injuries... I hit the metal gaurd rail on the freeway.. really... really hard... and think im lucky I walked away from the accident... just had some bruises from the seat belt, burns from the air bag, and a bruised knee from the fallen steering column. Oh yeah im also glad i didn't have any passengers, or hit anyone else!

Happy Zooming Peoples!

Reuben.

 

[jk7d]

Based on the pictures......what else did you hit?

hi reubenrivas...how much in your mind for tail lights?

and i am glad you are ok...and that makes us a little ease because our cars ain't that bad after a total loss accident

 

[NegatiZE]

Glad to see that you are ok.

I don't understand something though...I've seen so many Protege's after accidents w/ their steering column like that after an accident. If anyone ever remembers CoPartFinder.com, they used to have pics of totalled cars up for free viewing...there were many Protege's w/ their steering column fallen down. I wonder if it's the way it was designed, or some lousy connection somewhere in the steering column.
