     If you're looking for quality used parts from a place that know thier 
shit, Mark from Adirondack Auto Brokers is the MAN!  I'm local to him, which 
makes life a lot nicer without having to worry about shipping.  I can also 
send my wife up to pick up the parts without having to worry about him 
selling me the wrong parts, unless of course I told him something wrong.  

     I'll post an example, here is the list of parts I just bought to install 
in my '87 Jetta:

     BOSCH 1 Wire O2 sensor             -    $25.00
     Used Jetta GLI rear axle           -    $50.00
     New Brasilian rear wheel cylinder  -    $ 8.50
     New FAG front wheel bearing        -    $23.00
     Washer bottle cap, used            -    $ 0.50
     Used rear brake prop. valve        -    $25.00
     Used set of springs from GLI, 4    -    $75.00

                               Total    -   $207.00 +NYS Tax

     THOSE are some decent prices.  The Foriegn Autopart two blocks away 
sells those same wheel bearings for around $40.  The dealer wants around $60 
for the same bearing.  Same with the O2 sensor, price just goes up from here.

     His phone number is 518-882-6534, FAX: 518-882-1914, and his e-Mail 
address is mark@germanautoparts.com, his web page is 
"http://www.germanautoparts.com"

     Nice guy, great prices, great service.  I reccomend him highly.
