A few hours to kill near LAX - '02/Euro junkyards?

I'll have a few hours to kill before my colleague arrives at LAX in a few weeks. Been to LA a billion times, but never gone far into the junkyards. Any suggestions for yards that are likely to have '02s or other vintage Euro cars? Looking for pick-u-part style places.

Don't have enough time to get real far from LAX. I get in around noon and he lands around 4:30, I need to pick him up.

Gracias!

I think the closest wrecking yard is in Wilmington then Sun Valley or Stanton/Anaheim.

FWIW - '02s are getting very scarce in SoCal yards nowadays. I don't think I've seen one in any of the OC or LA county yards in the past 3 years.

You may have a better time visiting someone like Jack Fahuna @ ProBimmer in Van Nuys or Peter @ CoupeKing in Wilmington.

And just as a warning... getting to those places might take 30-40 minutes... but traffic on the way back could take an hour or 2...

I am in LA at LAX Marriot thru tomorrow night for work.

This area must be the new 02 owners hangout?! LOL
