Hey guys,
Thought I would ask this question here as i haven't had any luck on the Toyota forums. I'm trying to source a new mirror for a friend of mine, some goose drove to close to her on the weekend and knocked the drivers side mirror and it's just basically dangling there now. I'm having trouble finding parts for these cars, I was wondering if anyone has had any previous experience chasing parts for Echo's. Maybe for the wife, GF, Daughter etc.. I would imagine you could get parts from Toyota but I'm hoping to find a cheaper alternative elsewhere. Any help would be appreciated. And please no stupid remarks about Toyota's or Echo's thanks.

Have you tried a Japanese car dismantler? Even if you have to order interstate, it will still be cheaper than new parts in my personal experience although not a Toyota.

Go to www.findapart.com.au
Then type your request and it gets emailed to a whole heap of wreckers and parts places. I usually get back at least 4 or 5 quotes within a couple of days.
