The front window drivers side will not go up or down. I tried everywhere to get the necessary part but had no luck. I’ll even buy a door to get the part. Car is unusable as it failed inspection because of the window.

What part are you looking for regulator, motor, rails? I was able to get a complete assembly from Autozone for about $100. Dealer had it too but you needed to buy individual components for about 3x as much without a lifetime warrenty.

Is the difficulty that your car is 14 years old? ebay or a salvage yard has served well in the past for used parts.

How did you find us?  
You probably used Google.

Well, to help you a bit, there’s a great website for finding car parts.  
Its called [http://www.car-part.com/](http://www.car-part.com/)

Go to that site, and see if you can get a list of salvage yards with the part that you need. You can try window motor, or front door regulator, as both of those come up with results.
