A legit place to buy little odd parts

I'm trying to buy a dome light cover for my 89 pickup. Part number 87834-89104. All these sites that are selling it have SUPER bad rep and the one on ebay is 30 bucks!

Am I just going to end up paying 30 or does anyone know where I can get it for a fair price from a reputable dealer.

Thanks

Members mightymouse or DeathCougar might be able to get what you need with good used items.

I'm seeing it listed for about the same amount on several dealer sites.

OP go to your local dealer and have them get you one.....a cheap item like this will get swallowed up in the postage.

Use the two dealer links in my sig and do some pricing...local dealer over the counter will likely sell at closer to MSRP price, not the discounted.

I can`t say about other dealers but my local Toyota parts people are great it was a little rocky at first till they got used to looking up parts without a vin

when these vehicles are 20 plus years old it is not uncommon to have major parts from several years.

Many times Toyota uses a different number for the same part if it is used on a different model or year vehicle.

With more and more parts being made in China I find my self using more Toyota parts.
