a GREAT parts source you have to check out...
while looking for a hood & bumper for my 850 i stumbled across and very unique website...iPartCars.com...its kind of a small operation but unique...i got the bumper and hood with grille for $125!!! and they even washed and waxed it for me!!thats just crazy...when i went to pick it up, i thought they were giving me the wrong parts because they looked new. lol...the owner is pretty much running a 1 man show, he even pulls and cleans the parts himself!! he gave me a better than accurate description of the parts(scratches,dings or whatever) but they were still much better than i expected...i actually tipped him..lol..anyway its a small business and his lot doesnt hold alot of cars so usually he has to wait til he is done parting one before he brings another in, i guess thats why he gives the deals he does, because of lack of space. he said the company was going for a big change in 2011,but he said it was a secret...so maybe he is planning on moving to a bigger space. either way, i would say check them out....and they DO SHIP PARTS!!...he was on his way out to ship a bunch of boxes when i was leaving...anyway, i was very happy with my past purchases with him, and i thought maybe someone else on here could benefit from this information....iPartCars.com

Take this with a grain of salt. The user's IP address originates from an area very close to the business. My personal feeling is it's the owner/employee or someone affiliated with the business. It's only a guess though, based on evidence.

My Volvo 850 needed an axle so while looking online for a deal, I actually came across this site and came across this posting. I decided to check iPartCars.com out to see if it was just hype and actually I must say that my experience with iPartCars was very enjoyable as well. I actually ended up getting a deal that I couldn't pass up -- they sold me both axles for my 850 for $50 and even offered to install the one bad axle that I originally came for. I didn't drive the Volvo to pick up the part due to the distance (I live over an hour away) and the condition of the axle, so I had it installed locally. I would highly recommend them.
