My baby got banged up

Post by phantazm »

Hello,I was recently in a broadside hit and run. The guy clipped my passenger front end. I did the body work my self, but I am now stuck with a banged up front axle. The dealer is asking for a crazy $900.Does any one know where I can get a replacement part,(after market is fine)It's a 2003 Vibe AWD. The closest I found was this http://cpwstore.carpartswholes...&sv=0But They don't have an option for an AWD which the stealership tells me is diff.Ow yeah and the *** would not tell me the part number.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Regards,Phant

ouch. Call your local Toyota dealer, ask for the same part but for the Matrix. Should be identical, I believe (or someone here will correct me, I'm sure). GM marks up their Vibe parts an insane amount, but they get them primarily from Toyota. Junk yard is always a possibility too, these cars have been around enough years for a few other people to have smashed them up as well. You might get lucky.Good luck, man, and welcome to the forum
