DESPERATE NEED: 1996 STS front end body parts...

OK Folks, Need a HUGE hand here. I hit a deer on January 2nd in my 96 STS. I LOVE the car and DO NOT want to get rid of it and the damage isnt exstensive enough to not repair it. At the time I only had liability on the car but have since increased my coverage on all my vehicles. Anyway neither here nor there. The fact is I can't find the parts I need at a reasonable price. All the junkyards around here have OUTRAGEOUS prices on STS parts. I was wondering if anyone knew of a good parts source for new or good quality used parts at a very reasonable price. Any help you guys can give me would be GREATLY appreciated. I am getting tired of driving my "Grandma Car" 96 Deville and my only other option is to suffer the wind and road noise of my Grand Cherokee that I only want to use for crappy weather driving. Sure I got my bikes too but if the temp is below 50, I'm not riding so my only available adrenaline fix comes in the form of a mechanically 100% perfect ride and drive cosmetically challenged STS!

Thanks in advance,

I have been frustrated at times even finding parts at any price. I am retired now and very bored so I am starting a forum that will allow folks like you to post what they need and hopefully someone will have what you need at the price you want to spend. I am not sure it is quite ready for you, but if you want to post it you never know. Once I get a few requests on the board I will start contacting dealers and encourage them to see if they have the parts that suit your needs. This could be the dumbest things ever or who knows, it could actually help people like you and me.

Sorry I didnt reply sooner but work has had me putting in alot of hours and I don't get online much away from work stuff.

Anyway, I need both fenders, hood, grille, both head lights, both turn/parking lights, bumper cover(no need for bumper support), radiator, oil cooler, airbags, dash pad, trim inserts across the dash, windshield(not a major biggie I can get a new one cheap), and I actually need the radiator/core support as well to keep from having to take it to a frame shop(just grind the welds and tack the other one in its place). I essentially need a whole front half of the car minus the drive train hehe. But I miss my STS BAD.

Anyway I am intrested in the whole car if it is for sale whole or if all the parts I need are available. Shoot me a price on parts available or just the whole thing.


Thanks in advance,

Ryan West
