    Checked all my online sources and am coming up empty on a new washer unit for an '84 Mondial.

    Anyone know where I can get one, or better yet, if there's just a generic bottle that I can pick up at NAPA and sub in?

    Hi,

    Try GT Car Parts (623)780-2200 - they probably will have it and will charge you a down-to-earth price!

    I'm with you. GT CAR PARTS 9 times out of 10 has the lowest price and not by a few pennies but a lot lower plus I have found Bill to be a lot more helpful when ordering parts. I'm still waiting on Rutlands to call me back for parts I was looking for 2 years ago. They were going to get right back with me. I know others have had success with them but I haven't and it's been on more than one occasion. Also don't forget about Ricambi America excellent customer service from Daniel. I don't think he has used parts though

    I haven't been impressed by the customer support or prices of Rutlands. Best place in my experience for NEW parts is either Dennis McCann or Ferrari UK. Used, I have only dealt with Rutlands, so thanks for the tip on GT.

    Hi,

    ...for both new and used parts, I do not know what I would do without GT Car Parts - their prices are really good - sometimes I have to question them if they are OEM parts (they are) because the prices are great. Sometimes their prices are comparable to others (equal, never higher), but most of the time they are cheaper. Granted, they sometimes do not return phone calls due to the volume of customers - but I'll take that than someone charging me an totally obscene price for a part just because its "for a Ferrari" and they could get away with it.


    Thank You,

    Anthony

    I agree on the above recommendations, really.

    Each of the Ferrari parts suppliers (and sponsors) actually has a unique niche that is filled -- although it's not always obvious to our customers. GT certainly has lots of used/refurb stuff; Rutlands has loads of new-old-stock, etc. Ricambi focuses solely on brand-new, OEM/Ferrari/Ricambi Originali inventory. Ferraripartsexchange is somewhere in-between, with a great mix of new and used parts. Ferrari UK has plenty of everything. However, be prepared for the exchange rate, shipping, and import duties associated with a UK purchase.
