You really should get on this email list
Posted: Thu Jun 23, 2016 6:29 pmI have bought a fair amount of parts from Rock Auto, and as a result am getting regular notifications that, this is rare, I actually am glad to find in my email (as opposed to the continuous spam I get from other commercial sites!!). I have bought parts for two older cars from them (great prices, quick response), so I entered make/year/model/engine/etc. for each. Now Rock Auto sends me notification of manufacturers' closeouts of all kinds of parts, for each of those cars. Sometimes they only have one or two of those parts left, which is good because if they are something I anticipate needing in the future, I jump right on them. One of these two cars is a real orphan, an old Dodge Colt Vista 4WD wagon. I rebuilt every major system, and I know what it's like trying to find parts for an orphan. So when I see closeout parts for the things I have not yet had to replace, such as a re-man wiper motor (an essential item for Seattle cars), I spring for them.
I am one who generally avoids getting on company mailing lists. But Rock Auto is a good one, and you ought to consider getting their alerts for every car you own. I don't own a K-car, but as they get older, and get further into the orphan category, I sure would want to get the last of the cheap new parts . . . .
