Hi all, I found this at a junk yard and the asking price is $400. I can't tell if it's an OEM. If it is, is that a good deal? Thanks in advance!

A good condition (looks like it in the pics) bumper with an ASPEC lip (if in fact it is OEM)at $400 is a good deal.

That's what I'm thinking, can't really tell from the angle if in fact it is OEM. Thanks for your opinion!

If A C U R A is indented in the lower center part of the bumper then it is OEM.

can't tell by the angle of the picture, but are those a spec wheels too?

uneedkhoality

I think they are and plastidipped? here's a couple of more pics...

If there's clean take the wheels too and get them reworked if they're not mint.

Nice, they look like A Spec wheels. I would pick those up too if they are in good shape with no bends. Well, as long as the junk yard isn't asking $$$$ for them. You can always sand them down and repaint them or get them powder coated.

I may have to consider the rims as well after a thorough inspection of course. I did ask about the headlights and they said, $400 each...

Those look like ASPEC sides as well.

for a junk yard bumper, I would offer no more than $150.

junk yards are a hit and miss

some things they price too expensive and some things they price ridiculously cheap

400 for each headlight?

uneedkhoality

I've never bought anything from a junkyard before, so you think I negotiate that low? Thanks!

uneedkhoality

yeah, I don't understand the pricing of junk yards. I think new OEM headlights are around $480 and asking for $400 is kinda like, "WTF?

yeah, just go in there LIKE A BOSS and say; $150 for front bumper.
he'll either say yes or give you a price.

if still not happy with price, counter.

junk yards are not like dealers.

in essence, they make up the prices. sometimes, you have to get tough with them, well because they are scrappy junk yard ppl.

^ Eat what? Steak and lobster? Lol.

No that's not a good deal on a used bumper. Unfortunately, the salvage yards know what it's worth. It usually comes back to supply and demand.

I actually called again this afternoon and spoke to someone on the bumper, now he's saying the bumper is no longer for sale. Apparently, it was unloaded improperly and split the bumper in half. Who knows. On the plus side though, i asked about the rims and is willing to sell just the rims for $300 for all 4! If they are truly a-spec and in good condition, sounds like a steal to me. Unfortunately, i can't get them so anyone in Georgia want to go get them, go for it. If you need more info, PM me, thanks!

ScoobyTL

wow! $300 sounds like a steal to me! Hopefully someone is able to go check them out and make sure they are straight.

400 for any bumper is pretty much average and top dollar.. So I wouldn't necessarily call it "a good deal". A good deal would be 300 or cheaper than average. But if it is only a front lip, then I would think 300 would be top dollar. But if it is rare, and the right color, then 300 might be ok. Its up to you! How bad do you want it?
