Yahoo Japan for parts

[Beausoleil74]

I'm not sure if it's been brought up before but a good source for parts at least for myself has been yahoo japan. I use a proxy service for buying parts for my Pajero mini (sensors to solve a hesitation issue)

I've mostly bought used parts but they are a fraction of the cost of buying parts here. For example an Ignition coil with plugs for $30 for the set instead of $250 + per coil with no plugs from a few of the places in B.C. A O2 sensor for $5 instead of some other crazy amount. It looks like a great place for timing belt kits (including pullies) so I'll order them when I have more money. I've ordered spare head and tail lights as well.

I've used two different proxy services which handle all the details and bundle up your purchases and deal with the yahoo japan seller (they don't use paypal in Japan and the seller often does not understand English) one was http://www.fromjapan.co.jp/title/about and another was http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Yahoo-Japan-auct ... 0795296075

If you can wait awhile for parts it is a good place to get parts. Thought I'd share my find. I did hours of research for part numbers but it was worth it.

Good info....hopefully I can source the elusive 1989 Mazda Bongo CV joint stuff I've been looking for....

You might get lucky. I recently got a town bee (the wife wanted it ok) and the model we have was only made for a year and I found parts.

it's not your part but Bongo catalog is amazing. It's interesting that the picture on the from isn't even the vehicle.

Hope this link helps you start your search.
