I have a friend (lives in Shelton) He has cars all over the place, strips them down, and sells parts on ebay. He has, literally, hundreds of parts for sale there and does OK. He ships them all over the world! My new car is 2024. It had better not need a part for at least 5-7 years. Ford now warrantees engines and transmissions for 90K. I purchased extended warranty to cover every part of the car to 90K. Also all oil changes and other services (air filter, breaks, break fluid, etc) is all covered. Basically, I should never have to pay for maintenance for my car until 90,001 miles.

Ah, my friend actually and pretty much deals with older, really expensive things. Kindofa expert I am told. That being said he has about 20 cars in his back yard right now. Some for fixing and some for taking parts and selling them. Its really pretty strange. People give him cars when they are done with them.

He ships them all over the world! I might ask you for his contact info if the stars ever align and I get my old man cruiser. Certain parts are still easy to get, like engine and transmission parts. But you might have to search for a long time to find an interior door panel or some other piece of trim, or factory correct seats.

You could also message him there. It appears to be exclusive to BMW. Oh well...

Lordy - he sells EVERYTHING there! I have never been there but, in looking, he has parts for Cords, Jaguars, ski poles, etc. Just have to look/search through it to see what is there. There are 9 pages of stuff. He started with bmw's and then moved on (his wife runs a huge black bmw he picked up someplace). Oh, he also sells a lot of cars (but not there). Just send him a message and he will answer.
Oh, looking for a car? He may know where you can find what you want. I didn't want to send you his address but, if you ask him he will probably give it to you. If you want to know anything about cars this is the guy you want to talk to.

When you go there you have choices. You could for instance search for 'shoes' (he has a pair for sale). Just try and look for what you are interested in and it might be there (you never know). There are 9 pages of stuff so its easier to just search I think. I had never been there before we started this but I talk to him all the time. I think he should change his setup, ie setup two things, one for the bm2 stuff. The other thing is that if somebody wants something they tell him and if he has the car he will take the part out and sell it. (most of them were given to him as junk)
