Default Online source body parts suggestion? (newer cars)

Hey guys. Anyone out there have a good, reasonably priced online vendor for body parts for newer cars? I'm considering buying a '97 Chrysler that needs some odds and ends like taillights, front bumper cover etc etc..

I've never tackled newer body stuff...any suggestions? I'd at least like to price out the parts to help decide whether it's worth my while.

Thanks in advance.

Check out the local bumper exchange for the rubber parts. I usually spend a hour or so calling the local salvage yards before I break down and pay new prices. A car that old should not be too hard to locate good used parts to repair it.

Local is best because you can be sure of what you are getting.
Repro parts are ok but they usually fit lousy. Not to mention they are awful thin compaired to original.
