I had an accident with my 99 Cavalier, and need some basic body parts -
fender, bumper fascia, headlight assembly, ...

Looking online, I find http://info.automotix.net/bodyparts/, which seems
to have lots of stuff at prices less than half what the local junkyards
are getting.  If anyone has dealt with them (or another online body
parts source, for that matter), I'd be interested in hearing your
experience.

Thanks,
George

Aftermarket body parts may be less than half the price of used OEM, but
they're also less than half the quality. And that's being generous.
Aftermarket never fits properly, period. You will spend days trying to get
the sh.t to line up right when it doesn't have a Chinaman's chance of ever
doing so no matter what you do.

Plus aftermarket is thinner, softer, has no rust protection, has burrs
everywhere, plastic parts shrink, warp and crack...

The purchase of aftermarket body parts would be the worst decision you
would have ever made in your life. Yes I'm serious.

Do yourself a huge favor and just spend the cash to buy used OEM from the
wreckers.

My car does not pick up under 2,500 RPM. If you want low end torque buy an old american car.
