Places to buy cheaper 5th gen parts
i wanted to know if there were any places to get fairly cheap used parts for a 5th gen max? I would like to get some items from a 5.5 gen but i can only find the parts brand new and can't find them on ebay for a decent price. are there any other forums or something like that where people sell parts?

what were you looking to use from the 5.5 gen on your 5th?

Also, not sure what is up with these extremely vague posts lately, but come on, if you want information, you need to share a little more with us. i.e. what kind of parts, performance, OEM, maintenance,

some 5th gens had the auto dim mirror, i know mine did. that sounds like a good candidate for a junk/salvage yard if you want a real good price. the headlights are hit or miss on ebay but keep an eye out for the broken tabs one as they are most likely previously stolen. might even be worth a look for some in a junk yard if the vehicle has rear end damage.

Yeah, I have that same problem with junk yards where I live too. If that's the case then I'd say that Ebay would probably be your best bet.

You might want to check out partstrain.com. I've checked some reviews and they're either extremely bad or really good.
