OT - Used Car Parts?

[DMBillies]

I FUBARed the arm rest on me car ('02 Ford Focus) and need a new one. Looks like an extremely easy fix (2 screws) if I can find the part.

The only place I've been able to find the part is through a Ford dealer and they want a couple hundred bucks for just the top part. For that price, I'll screw in a piece of 2x4 to stabilize it and wrap some duct tape around it. We won't even mention the labor Ford wanted to charge me for screwing in the previously mentioned 2 screws (the 3rd screw, for me, was going to be "on the house").

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew of a good junk/salvage yard that might have an early 2000's Focus. I tried Pull-A-Part but they don't have a single Focus in stock. I find that hard to believe seeing as it was one of the best, if not the best, selling car in the US. In any case, I was hoping someone might have a local lead or know of a good website for locating used parts?

Thanks for any help.

If you have no luck I could probably get the part for you at wholesale. It will probably be purty expensive still.

Edit: saw that you already tried pull a part.

Try:

Youngs Auto Salvage (Murfreesboro)

Express Auto Recyclers (LaVergne)

Those are who we usually get used parts from. Youngs mainly deal in newer model cars only so I bet they might have what you need.

have you tried ebay?

Might try something like this site (there are others as well). You put in what you're looking for, and your contact info, and parts suppliers and salvage yards email you what they have and what their offers are. I've used it to locate parts for my Pontiac.
