SOOBOUTLAW Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Never seen a cat either. They cut the cat off before tossing it to the buffet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phizinza Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 The amount of stuff that goes out of those places un-paid for is huge. So you can understand why they take big ticket items off of the cars before they let you rip into them, can't you? Plus, lots of people would probably take the turbo off, go to pay for it and gasp at the price they want (can get) for it. So maybe they don't take the turbos off, but people do and the just leave them at the desk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qman Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 One of their regulars pulls the turbo's. Been there, done that! Same with most of the carbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uberoo Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 at 16 bucks for a turbo... A long time ago I called them about a turbo for saab.they said turbos are the fastest thing to leave their lots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phizinza Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Maybe move in to their yard? Then you might get the parts you want... You could live out your car, or any car of your choice! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edrach Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Certain people manage to get the parts they want; they either have an "in" with management or work there. I have a turbo unit that needs rebuilding for an EA82 if anyone wants it ($10 plus shipping). I was at PAP last Friday and did notice the large number of EA82s but according to the computer, only one Legacy (a blue '93 sedan in row S right next to the separator from the domestic cars). I'm still looking for an Impreza there; only seen two in the last 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 After searching for a couple of years I got lucky a few weeks ago. I scored a IC off a Saab before some other scavenger got it:headbang: Its all in the timing. Some days you get lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still looking for an Impreza there; only seen two in the last 5 years. I gave up looking for an impreza there, so I went down the street to Best and paid the extra money for the Impreza struts from them. Oh, and I'm kinda sore at PaP right now because the yahoo who sold me the Legacy struts didn't mark one of them, and they wouldn't let me return it. and then had the audacity to say it is MY job to make sure it's marked. (Excuse me, but no... if you put a stipulation like that on return, it is the employee's responsibility, not the customer's... failure to do so could be considered oh, FRAUD...)

HATCHY Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 Which Guy Was It That Big Fat Guy With The Beard He Didnt Mark Something I Got Before Either..

Ever Victorious Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Which Guy Was It That Big Fat Guy With The Beard He Didnt Mark Something I Got Before Either.. Im Thinking About Going And Getting A Paint Marker.... And Well Taking Back Some Parts.. If You Know What I Mean That would be him. apparently the fact that I bought both of the struts on the same receipt, at the same time, from the same guy, and was returning them because they WOULDN'T FIT, doesn't mean anything. The guy who was processing the return asked him, and he just looked at me and said "nope, can't return it". Nice. jackhole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnW Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 For the two buck entery, git yer money's worth(or what your pockets can hold) Please do not promote illegal activity. Thanks! At most pull a part yards if you walk up to the counter with something that is 1-2 bucks on their price sheet they will just give it to you and tell you to put a buck in their charity wheel borrow, pop machine, etc. Being honest actually pays and if they do charge you 2 bucks, big deal its 2 bucks. thats 2/3 of a gallon of gas for something you need for your car.

SOOBOUTLAW Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I didn't mean anything illegal. It's just I bought two complete doors with everything but the mirror for like 23 bucks each. Great shape, great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edrach Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I've found all of the people at Pull a Part to be more than reasonable if you treat them with respect. I always ask them to mark my stuff whether I think I'll bring it back or not. Their staff has to deal with people who are occasionally trying to pull a "fast one." Unfortunately they have no way of knowing what's an honest mistake from someone trying to cheat. The staff there is not hired for their smarts and I'm sure is not paid much more than minimum wage.

You know me, Ed... I worked retail for 11 years, I have the utmost respect for retail employees because I've been in their shoes. A lot. I could explain a couple other things... not sure they're 100% appropriate for the forum, so I guess I'll shoot you a PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
