Recommendation For 1998 S90 Parts

Yesterday on New Year's Eve I had the unfortunate opportunity to rear end a guy in my Volvo. I am looking for a reputable used parts dealer, junkyard, or other location where I can get decent parts. The front end is pretty banged up; however, no fluid leaks and I drove the car home. Need hood, lights, grille and the supporting assemblies to go with.

Serious recommendations only....thanks~

Sorry to hear about the mishap. There is an eBay seller called Tom's Foreign Auto Parts. He has a huge selection of parts for Volvos. Another is Erie Volvo (one of this site's sponsors if I'm not mistaken)

Is that serious enough

Yes, that is a serious response. Thanks for the recommendations. I will check it out!

Also, since my Volvo is older the insurance company may total it out rather than repair it.

Any insight here?

I bought fomr Tom's before - they are reputable.

I see a lot of stuff about Erie Volvo but haven't used them.

There is a pick-n-pull place in Western New York called J&J Imports that has lots of Volvo's but you would have to travel from KY to get the parts.

If they total it, take the money and repair the car. That happened to my eldest - insurance company totalled the car and she paid off the car and repaired it so it was a good deal.

Why didn't your airbags deploy? How fast were you going? You might want to have them checked. Also you will need to get a visual inspection done on your suspension, steering and alignment - a hard hit can damage something and you don't want something coming undone on the highway

If you are able to pull your own parts, there is a Pull-A-Part at Louisville, KY. They have a 95 960 and a 96 960 listed.
