Why is this so cheap (Auto part store)??

I'm looking for a right-side fender and everyone is quoting about $100...I check the internet and find this site:
http://info.automotix.net/bodyparts/...xima&year=1998

and it lists for $30..so I called them up and it;s a new piece (????). I ask why so cheap, and they just say it's because they are competiative.

ANyone deal with them? It sounds like too good of a deal ...or what other parts auto stores you guys recomend?


Thanks

Hey Justaguy I can almost guarantee you that they will not be oem or made in Japan , be carefull if they are not oem or atleast from a trustworthy place cuz usually if they are not oem the fitment is not going to be very acurate ...

like he said... it is an aftermarket piece. i would steer clear of them for the reasons stated. there are some decent aftermarket suppliers but at that price i doubt thats one of them.

on the flipside, its so cheap that you can probably afford to check it out unless they kill you with shipping.

*edit- the only aftermarket parts i have/will use are certifit. other than that oem.
