They should have an app on TGO called Wish List, where users enter in the parts they want by part number and the various suppliers post their price and then we could buy the stuff through the TGO app. TGO would take a small cut for doing it and users could get the best price and manage their future purchase plans in one place.

Re: Idea

I'm moving this to JT's board as it is more fitting to be there. Don't know if it's possible, just want to move it where it will be seen.

Re: Idea

We have a vendor directory:
https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/vendor_directory.php

One problem is we don't exactly have many vendors that would specialize in the same NOS (assuming that is the suggestion here) parts to really make it effective. It would need to be limited to Vendors only. Second issue is, NOS parts for these vehicles is increasingly hard to find due to many being discontinued. That just leaves used parts and aftermarket parts, which still, there isn't exactly enough participation (vendors) to really make it effective and the part numbers would not always apply in those situations (e.g. aftermarket parts). It would be a good idea, and effective, if the parts were more plentiful.
