Permobil Parts

Does anyone know of a place on the web where we can buy Permobil parts without going through a DME seller. I'm tired of waiting forever when I need a part and when they actually get around to ordering it for me. Thanks

Bumping this. I'm looking for a good source for Permobil parts. Any suggestions?

What parts do you need? We have a Permobil Chairman 2K sitting in the garage doing nothing.

Thanks ladies. At this very moment I'm just looking for both armrests. I know I can get them from Permobil but I'm just trying to get a reasonable deal on them. I was lucky recently when I found a used joystick for half-price of $275.

A year ago I found a dealer in CA that sold parts for C500 but for the life of me, I cannot locate the website now. But anyone that knows me will attest to the fact that I am hard on stuff. So I'm sure I'll be needing more crucial parts in the near future

I seen armrests on Ebay, not sure if they were for the C500 though. Have you checked there?

I just bought David a used C300 and we are in the paperwork process of getting him the C500 I so hope we didn't make a bad choice.

I checked ebay but no luck. I'll keep looking.

The C500 is pretty tough but I am still not a fan of front wheel drive.

Thanks MS. The ones ebay are also gel padded, which might be nice, but something I don't need.
