Someone threw a rock at my 2006 Nissan 350Z and broke out the tail light. The dealership wants to charge me $300 for the part and $98 for labor! Is there a way I can get a used tail light and have it put on the car? I really need to save some money!

Dorothy, you can usually get replacement parts at an auto junk yard in or around your city. Tail lights are expensive but a junk yard will charge you half the price at most. Just be sure to look real careful at the one they sell you to make sure it is the correct replacement.

Hopefully you know someone who can replace the unit on the car, which sometimes is a little tricky but not too difficult. Be sure to call around before you go to any junk yards and ask because they will know what they have on inventory and will save you a bit of gas.

Good Luck and Drive Safe!
