Used car part site. Any experiences??

[kingbiscuit]

I bought a used 4runner and there are some little things I have been wanting to fix up. Is anyone familiar with this site?

Im curious if there is a way to check the reputability of the vendors etc.

I can't comment on that site in particular, but I've had lousy luck with used part sites. I ordered a water pump for my civic used and they sent one with bad bearings. Yes, you could hear the noise when rotated by hand. I was about to replace a bad water pump with another bad one. I sent it back for refund, but had to eat the shippping costs. Can't remember which one it was...
I would buy new parts only if shopping parts online.
Just my $0.02.

Well if it is an easy part to replace and non-essential like interior parts I guess I don't have a problem. A water pump is kind of a bitch to replace. I am currently using ebay for little things I need, but this site is cheaper, but you can't check feedback like you can on ebay.

I was looking for a window switch and one of the notes on one of the switches on the site was "Bloody". That is kind of creepy. Just clean it off and don't tell me. Jesus christ.
