    So some neighborhood punk kid busted my tail light. I'm 90% sure it was a kid on a bike because there is a nice chunk of black rubber sticking out of the hole in my tail light at just about the right height for a bicycle handlebar. So I called a few dealerships and the cheapest driver's side tail light I could find was $343. Anyone have any idea where I could find it cheaper? That price just seems ridiculous. (Of course my deductible is $500, lol.)

    Oh, and if anyone happens to find a kid riding a bicycle with a chunk of rubber missing from the handlebar, punch him in his head for me.

    Try Sparks Toyota and ask for "Ken" in the parts dept. They seem to have the cheapest prices.

    Thanks. I dropped him an e-mail because it's after hours. Hopefully I'll hear back tomorrow.

    I'm a business man, and sometimes I give someone a very good deal at little or no profit due to extenuating circumstances. It sucks when the person I gave the deal to tells everyone what they paid, because then I feel obligated to honor that price for those who ask for it. Having said that, I don't feel like it would be right for me to say exactly what I paid, as I feel I got a very good deal due to extenuating circumstances. I will say, however, that every other dealership I contacted wanted about 30% more. I will definitely do all of my parts shopping at Sparks Toyota from now on.
