probably the most widely known source for SC parts on the planet. You should have searched for tap recycling

They're not too bad of a place. You can get stuff for a relativly decent price, depending on what it is. I sourced a couple parts from there for my MKIII, they were the only place in my area that had a fan when mine was torn apart from my fan shroud.

I would recommend going to the physical place if possible. While they have most things on their website. The yard is always getting new arrivals and when I went, I was able to pick and choose parts and then get them discounted for problems not listed on the website

They're not so bad.

I've been there for a few times and always saw a variety of crushed SCs in their yard.

I bought my transmission from them for $450 a couple of years ago.

Man... you're too funny.

The only noise I hear now is the little voice in my head that keeps telling me to buy the new IS350.......

When I ask for estimates, nothing that I need is ever in stock, so I assume most things you need are not in stock.

Ive used them before, I'll call and ask what they have and its usually not in stock. But I get emails from them saying they do. Allways ask to double check and verify. Somethings are cheap then some outrageous.

I’ve ordered parts several times from them and the experiences were positive. On one occasion I had ordered the trunk carpet and they accidentally sent me the wrong one. They had also by mistake sent the piece underneath the carpet. After a brief conversation and without any hassle, they quickly sent the correct part and there were no additional charges nor did they ask that the other one be returned.
