No spam, just an FYI......My local LKQ(Clayton, NC) has their 50% off sale this Sat and Sun( 08/28 and 08/29 ). I missed the last one, but have caught them in the past. Just hope it doesn't rain again this weekend.

I thought LKQ had it's half off sales on big holiday weekends? The weekend of the 3rd thro the 6th is the Labor Day weekend.

I thought they did too. For the last 2-3 holidays, the counter guys said they weren't having one and that they're usually notified well in advance. I just assumed that it went the way of the dodo due to the economy.

Crap, now u got me second-guessing myself. I saw the commercial while I was getting dressed this am. I'm gonna have to stop by and find out for sure now. If anyone else finds out first, let me know.

There are 2 LKQs within 45 minutes of me, one in Memphis and one in Marion, Ar. and neither one seems to advertise....except when they have their 1/2 off sale. I haven't seen an ad for either one, yet. However, that doesn't mean there is no sale. I just don't want to show up on the wrong day/weekend.

Find LKQ self serve on Facebook. They usually post the 1/2 off sale and lately it's been region specific.

Just stopped by one of my local LKQ yards. The sale is on for this weekend, Sat and Sun only.

You're going to need 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 17mm and maybe a 19mm sockets. Ratchets, and a about a foot in extensions.

A breaker bar would help, also. I tend to find a loose exhaust pipe or whatnot laying around and use that.

Also... you may want to find someone that's been to that location. Miata's don't tend to show up to often, and if they've been there for any amount of time, they're usually stripped clean.

Last time there was a 50% off sale, I left with a Torsen for $35. Good luck and happy hunting.

old thread bump... anybody seen ads related to this year's sale?

I'm assuming they're going friday/saturday/sunday?

I guess I'll call... I can't get there until Sunday. The gettin is good early, but there's always some oddball trim piece or otherwise I might find.

They normally announce it on tv or atleast have the sign out front. I havent seen either yet.

Look online: Our local Daytona LKQ has its usual Thanksgiving sale starting tomorrow: 50% off sale.

This has become a Thanksgiving family tradition for the Suddards, along with Crasharama at Orlando Speedworld. Not sure if that makes us extra weird, or extra awesome. I'm gonna go with "both."
