First off let me say this appears to be a great site with people who are dedicated to helping those with the beloved bonnie.
Now for my tale of woe.. I have a sister named Bonnie who has had her BONNEVILLE for 15 years. I have bugged her for 8 months to sell me this car as it looks like new and she rarely drove it. I have always LOVED this car. Its a dark green Se with 100,000 miles. She finally relented and sold me the car on Sunday 072008. Monday brought heavy rain, and as I was driving home I hit high water and lost control of the car. Damages included left front fender, left front door, left front rim (aluminum) and probably worst of all, I tweeked the upper and lower control arms. When I told my sister, she started crying and damn near broke my heart.
Can the fine people of this site direct me to a place for parts? I spent almost all I had to spare buying the car and am left with looking for used parts (mainly the control arms). Any help received would be most appreciated.

I'm sure we can help.

Let'* start off with where are you located?

www.car-part.com usually has pretty good prices, although pulling your own locally will save a bit more.

Yes, I guess that info would help. I am in lafayette, Indiana. The car is a 1992 SE with a 3800 V-6.

Ok, where'* our friend PearlBonnie_02, she is aware of most junkyards and I think isn't too far from you. I'll pm her.

It may be a little bit of a drive, your about an hour and a half south of me but call I-80 Auto Parts (219) 838-4388. They usually have great prices. They are located in Gary. They should have everything your looking for.

Here are some other JY'* in the area that usually have a good selection of Bonne parts.

Stans Auto Salvage (St. John, IN) 219-365-8558 ask for Chip!

I hope this helps a little bit.

Thanks for the info....I will try the numbers you suggested. Will keep you posted on my progress!

Another possibility is www.car-part.com

Just an update. I managed to find all the parts at a local junk yard. Even in the same color! The bonne is running again and all is well. Thanks to all for the help and info.

Great news. Same color is always a plus.
