so, I live in canada, have a 1995 HDJ81-RNMEW and had a collision with a deer. Long and short is that Toyota Canada will not help me, ( the parts guy said he could get the part but Toyota canada cancelled the order: they do not like RHD), so I am going for a buy out from the insurance company for the damage.
In the course of all this, I searched out the parts myself, and Amayama came up. I have seen the generally good reviews here, but still... is it a good idea to use that insurance pay out $ to buy the body parts I need through Amayama (assuming they are available; their site indicates 'yes')?
Left fender and flare is what is damaged, but I am thinking why not get the right front door and tailgate that is rusting as well? The costs involved will probably be offset by the increased value-'rust free' state of the vehicle, or so I think.
Can I trust their shipping costs on something large like body parts?
I imported my vehicle so I am used to sending $$ overseas and waiting for a month for my vehicle to show up, but I did that with Brave Auto after seeing positive reviews here. Does Amayama rate or not?
Assuming they have the parts and the shipping is correct, it seems 'too good to be true'...
any advice?
