Man, sorry to hear about the wreck. But it looks like you're making really good progress.

Personally, I don't like the black around the lights. It makes it look like a zombie car.

That being said, since I'm close (Bethalto,IL) if I can help with anything let me know.

...not even speeding...

Not even ending the second sentence, I knew where this was going. Sorry to hear about your car man. I've been a member with USAA for years now and they totally tried to bend me over with a loan. My rate was rediculously high so I said no thanks. Hope all works out well.

You can get that same discount from partznet.

But this way I don't have to pay shipping. I found several toyota dealers on line offering the discount, but none would ship the front bumper for a reasonable cost. This is paid at a local dealership, and no cost shipping and pickup.

Not doing the gas cap thing, no funds for htat. Maybe some day, but for now it's just the bare essentials along with paint and door handles/side markers.

If you call them up they should be able to drop ship anything to your local dealer. Partznet is actuall Conicelli Toyota, a local dealership around here. I know most of the guys there, and if you need something let me know. I'll tell you who to talk to over there.

I may take you up on that. Let me see what I can get figured out over the next few weeks while I appropriate funds.

another thought.

normally most dealers will price match.
print out the partznet page with the price, and bring it in to your local parts guy.
if he seems unwilling, i would go right over his head to the GM, they really would rather give you the discount than loose the buisness most times.

^ Yep.
All dealerships have 2 prices. One is what they charge the average guy who walks in through the door (list price), and the other is what they charge your mechanic when he calls up to order a part. Then your mechanic turns to you and says... look I'm only making money on the labor, when in fact he is marking up the part back up to list price and making money from selling you the part (totally legit). Anyway, the dealership should have no problems giving you that price, because they do it everyday and still make money on it.
