do you have any junk yards/ car cemeteries near you? That's usually the first place I check when I need a part. You can probably find what you're looking for there for 1/1000th of the price that it will cost brand new. And a panel is a panel - either way you're going to have to paint it. Good luck dude.

PS - otherwise I'd check out a saturn forum. you can probably get cheap parts off of someone on there. I've scored super cheap parts off of honda & toyota forums before. It's worth a shot.

ebay is clutch for parts. look on craigslist too, you may find an entire parts car for cheaper than what it would cost you new for your parts.

Do you not have junkyards where you live? If you do just go there and strip another Saturn of the parts you need and get it all considerably cheaper than purchasing them new.

You can put a parts wanted add on craigslist. that seems to work pretty well too. also you can try going to some repair shops and just asking where you might be able to find some parts. a lot of times the people working in smaller shops are super chill and will help you out if you tell then that you want to do it yourself and that you just need the parts.

One time I had a busted headlight and badly dented left fender causing the tire to sometimes scrape the wheel well, its was a 97 Civic.  Seriously, I just drove to the part of town where Mexican day workers hang out, and asked if anyone could fix it.  Someone said yeah, whats your address, I'll go get the parts and come by in two hours.  He came by with a new fender, and a headlight, I gave him $150, he fixed it, and that was that.

The paint was slightly the wrong color and it seemed like a the fender was made out of a different metal, but it all fit great and never gave me any problems, and it looked awesome unless you noticed the slight color difference.  Totally worth $150.

Try to find a junkyard and pull the parts off of that. Or try to find you model car that was totalled and buy it for like 400 bucks, then pull the parts you need, and part it out to others and turn a profit.
