DAVES89 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I watch craigslist of various cities for Reattas and found a car in Chicago that the guy wanted $150.00 for. As it is about 170 miles one way I wasn't interested in bringing the car back so I called the guy and asked him if I could pick the parts I wanted and still pay him $150.00. He agreed and off I went. Got to his rental garage at 7:00 am [meaning I left my house at 4:00 am]. He showed up at 7:20 and we started in. I grabbed the fog lights, passenger side cornering lamp, positive and negative battery cables, tail light, outer door handles, rear abs sensor leads, front hubs [with the leads in them], radio, CRT Controller, chime module, brake control module, CRT, IPC and other misc. parts. I sent the picture to Ronnie and asked him to post it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Here is the photo of the parts Dave got in Chicago. He made out like a bandit. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVES89 Posted September 12, 2017 Topic Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 Thanks Ronnie! I forgot about the outside mirrors/corner glass, cruise control module, 2 sets of console switches as well as the Saphire Blue arm rest. I have no use for the arm rest but didn't want to leave it as it is in great condition. Contact me if anyone wants to buy one cheap. I also grabbed a Drivers side seat belt [female end] for anyone looking to replace theirs. [There was someone on the forum that had a broken one].

fordrodsteven Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 You made a pretty good haul! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVES89 Posted September 13, 2017 Topic Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 Thanks. I really should stop looking for more parts as I already have too much. But I think that if I don't grab them the car will get crushed and then the parts are gone forever. So off I go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I'm depending on Dave to have some of those parts if I ever need them. I'm hoping I don't ever need them. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVES89 Posted September 13, 2017 Topic Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 You know how it goes; If you have extra parts that part will never break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 You know how it goes; If you have extra parts that part will never break. It's sorta like buying an insurance policy isn't it. You hope for the best and prepare for the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
