Used parts sources?

Post by Roger_850T »

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for used parts sources, and not coming up with anything that is working; I thought I'd ask for suggestions and recommendations.

I am looking for a replacement engine wiring harness for my 2005 XC90 V8. (Have posted other threads on the persistent issues, still not fixed.) A new (used) wiring harness was suggested, and at this point it's sounding like a good option, if only I can find one.

Thus far I have tried:
- Internet searches (and entered my info and instantly had 10 'bots blowing up my phone and email)
- Erie Vovo
- ReVolv
- eBay (will keep looking; I've seen 3.2 and 2.5 harnesses, but not a V8 yet)

I thought I had a good one sourced, then the vendor was asking for a Bank Transfer payment, which set off red flags; I subsequently found 35+ BBB complaints against them for taking money by bank transfer and not delivering the parts, so I passed...

Can anyone suggest any other sources to try?

Thanks!

Roger

I see first gen XC90's pop up in the u-pull yards around here on a regular basis. Anything like that close to you?
'97 854 T5 - Manual Swap/M4.4/COP/NA cams/P2R Brakes/16T/ chassis bracing/ XC70 nose swap
'97 855 GLT - Hers. RN swap/16T/COP/VVT/exhaust/302s/Flashed M4.4/ chassis bracing/ 2 kid seats
'78 GLE - Waiting in the wings. Future whiteblock/T5 swap.

The Others- '83 TBird turbo, '85 Mercury Marquis LTS (1 of 134), '86 LTD Wagon, '81 Granada GL, '76 Beetle, '93 F-150 I6

Yes, and I see them occasionally, not very often. If one comes along, I'll go after it, but sometimes they are in worse condition than mine.
