I'll be honest, they were looking because they don't get many grampa blue-hair's in the yards. Go you though, glad you had fun. I still have the toaster I got out of the back of a wrecked car at this yard I used to use all the time, the lady at the parts window was like 'uh toaster ain't on the list' so the guy leaned over and said 'gimme $2 kid'. I still have my $2 toaster and it makes great toast. You can find all kinds of stuff out there, sometimes real deals and steals too. Wheels are often flat price for alloys, so if you find a nice set you like you can often get them for cheap. Some places will even let you haggle some.

I'm beginning to see the value of these places, thanks to the advice received in this thread. Began by figuring it was the best place to find a replacement steering knuckle, and now, since I did that, my eyes have been opened to greater possibilities. I was struck by an older man, way older than me laugh.gif , who was continually wheeling out (wheel barrows full of) tires with really good tread life left on them. I figure he must have a "business" re-selling tires at some road-side cheap tire place. It's a whole new world I had never experienced, so thanks for all the good advice.

Question: Where can I find a detailed parts list for my 94 Celica with every part shown along with their associated Toyota part numbers?
