Hi guys,
I was just reading another thread where a gentleman was looking for some used Volvo parts for his 240.
In that thread there were lots of suggestions of where he could find used parts but one issue seemed to be in finding parts that are rust free.
I thought I would post this information in a new thread in hopes that it will help everyone....
Over the past few years I've bought from a place called Volvo Saab Auto Dismantlers which is a salvage yard in California.
All of their parts come with a 90 day warranty and are guaranteed to be rust free.
I have had very good luck with these people and both their parts and shipping prices seem to be very fair. One thing that I really like about them is that I can all up and describe "that little black box looking thing on the drivers side fender wall" and they can usually talk me through the rest of the information they need, to supply the correct part.
In the past I have bought an in tank fuel pump, complete rear bumper, Mass air flow meter and numerous other small parts and the only problem I had was with a defective Mass air flow meter. I simply called them with the problem and they sent me out another one, no questions asked. They didn't even ask me to send the old one back, but I did anyway.
Anyway, here's the phone number: 800-700-8658
I haven't had a need to call them in the last several months but I assume that they are still in business.
Hopefully this will help someone else out.

Dave
