    Hello everyone, I'd just like to introduce myself.

    I am a happy new owner of a 2005 Prius. Well WAS a happy owner. I'm a college student and had just purchased my first car (meaning that I payed for it with my own money). I made the mistake of purchasing one way insurance. The first day I had my car I went to the beach with some friends. I came back and to my dismay someone had hit my car, damaging the driver side fender, and the driver side door, and mirror had broken off. I've gotten quotes from numerous body shops but they are too high for my budget. My second option is to locate the parts and have them install it for me. I have a few questions out there and would really appreciate the help. I need to find a prius junkyard of some sort. Does anybody know of such a place? Also if you or someone you know wants to part out their prius. I need the driver side door and mirror, and the driver side front fender. I just need to get these parts, thank you!

    -Nathan
