    Used Parts Classifieds

    Is there an appropriate section for used parts? I found the section for vehicles (by definition, they would be used ), but noticed the comments were that no parts were to be posted. Anyone know if there is a section on this forum, or elsewhere?

    Other vehicle forums of which I am a member have a very healthy and active secondary market in used parts, which is particularly invaluable for older vehicles...

    Thanks!

    No parts section, new or used, on this forum...Check out Guns & Rovers forum.

      A forum operated by a company that sells Rover parts would, understandably, be reluctant to have its members turn into competitors by allowing them to sell Rover parts on the company website.

      They DO have a classified section for new parts though--just click here.

        Mark, That's a helpful link.... Thanks for that.

        Nor is it at all true that a used classified will materially impact the hosts profitability. It actually builds a stronger community. A good example is Pelican Parts which ( obviously) has new parts, but also has a pretty healthy classified section for used parts. Members are pretty good about only posting used and it doesn't seem it cuts into the hosts business at all.

        Parrie, I'll check out guns and rovers. Thanks!

            They have a used parts section, but the best way to find what you're looking for is to post up a request to see if anyone has it. Chances are really, really good that group will have the part you need. They amaze me all the time.
