I am curious as to how many people domestically are buying individual car parts online and fixing their cars (or having the part and car brought to a service center) rather then bringing the car into a dealer or service center (paying for both parts and labor @ the shop price).

Can anyone give me a solid number on this?

Thanks

My son is in desperate need of a cheap car. I’ve seen some pretty good deals on some orphan cars, like a Tercel or an Echo. Question is, can you still get parts for these cars now that they are no longer being made and how much of a problem will this be in the future?
