I have a Geo Metro 1994 and I want to preserve her. However, Elderberry as I like to call her has two outside door handles that have broken, the heater does not work because of a missing part (essentially a plastic vent) is gone, and the lock cylinder on the drivers side does not work. Any suggestions of where to go to get used parts? Buying new ones is insanely expensive and I am not having good luck at my local junk yards. I believe in fixing something instead of getting something new. All suggestions would be appreciated!

Other forum members near you can also likely make good suggestions. Good Luck!

I am a fan of this forum for sure! I live in Washington State and have not had luck with nearby junkyards, but I live in the sticks at times.

Couldn't get new door handles. Had to go to the junk yard, in the snow - middle of the summer - snow - waist deep in mud. It was hard, and we liked it. We loved it. And if you found a Geo Metro, the door handles were usually gone. Too bad. It was hard, and we liked it. We loved it. And when you did find a Geo Metro with door handles, something would be broken, or you would break it taking it off of the car, so you had to find another car. It was hard, and we liked it. We loved it. Now, they sell them new on Ebay. What's the world coming to?

But at least I was not buried in mud. Just frustration of a different sort. It seems that everything is beginning to fall apart on my car. Now I need a new window track with rubber for my driver side window and ventilation ducting so that my heater will work again. The car has 165,800 miles on it, and I stare lustily at the hybrid prius' on the road dreaming of an electric car. Does this make me a traitor to the geo? Do I need more mechanics in my life...probably.
