Default Where is a good place to buy a window motor?

I will need to replace my passenger window motor. Does it pay to get one used? I guess I will look at youtube and it will tell me how to install it. Thanks. Brian.

Just buy a new one. Summit has them for like 30 bucks. Or try your local vatozone, they usually have a lifetime warranty on their items.

Amazon and Autozone have window motors have you tried changing the wiring? Sometimes the problem isnt with the motors, its the wiring.
