Give them a call or look on the internet.
Here are a few off my list:
A-Scott - Ralph's
604.580.5479
A-Van Auto Wrecking
604.324.5111
B&E Auto Supply on Mitchell Island
604.322.1498
Atlas Auto Wrecking
604.322.6607
NOt sure how current the phone numbers are, so may be check yellowpages online.
The other thing is, a simple search on
www.car-part.com yielded a few dozen results. Three of them was in Canada, the closest one to you was in Manitoba. Check that too.

a-scott(ralphs), probably has one. their prices aren't the cheapest but they have like 7 or 8 mx-3's in their yard. I would check there first. they are located at scott road and 104th ave in Surrey.

You could also try A-Best @ 604-580-3303, they'll usually have a few MX-3s in their yard. They're a few blocks down the street from A-Scott(Ralph's).

Kev, you think we should make a sticky of Vancouver junkyard listings? I know that people ask for the info once in a while.

I think we should try to involve one of the wreckers in our club somehow. we always need a part or clip or panel to try something new on, maybe if we offered to advertise for someone at our meets, they would cut us a deal on parts=), Just something to ponder....

Yes it is and only one of those junk yards had the double din and wanted $225 for it and was rude when I said that was pricy. I guess I will very reluctantly buy an after market deck
