i'm going out to look for a new driver's side fender tomorrow at the salvage yards. how much is a fair price for one from a donor car? i have a specific car at a specific yard in mind where there're no dents in the part. .

this yard is pretty flexible on the price, and i was thinking of just making them an offer.

 

$25-50

 

here's a pic of the part i'm talking about:

 

Thanks for the explanation, but I think if you don't know what a fender is, you need to be drug out into a field and shot.

 

what i call it is little more than trivial.

so...uhh...how much you think i should offer?

 

You can buy a brand new mazda OEM fender from your mazda dealership for about $120 so dont pay over $50 at a bone yard

 

Victoria British sales one for 79.95 new. I can look up the fender and part number if ya want, I have the catolog.

cpt_gloval, you do realize the picture you took is of the passenger side front fender. So when you get the replacement you need to get the one off the other side. Just trying to be helpful!:p

 

yeah - i just had the picture chillin' on my HD. the other side is really bad lookin', which is why i wanna replace it.

 

$25-$50. Anymore and your getting the shaft. These are boneyard prices, mind you. New is more. I'd pay 50 if the paint was very good and matched my car and had the trim and emblems. I have bought no less than three from bone yards and never payed more than $25.


Good luck,

Mike

 

grr. i went to the yard today after work and the donor car had been moved, and the panel got dented up a bit. oh well.

back to square-one. i may as well look for a new one, if i can find one in stock anywhere.
