HELP where can I get this part?!?

Ok I just got back from the dealership and they quote me $1,100 to fix my engine fan electric motor part # 000-540-16-88 and MSA control module part # 025-545-59-32.

My warranty just expired as I reached 51k miles I can't see myself paying that much as I wish it should of happend when I was still covered under warranty. Seems like it was programmed to cause a problem right when I got over 50k but anyways I can't do anything about it but fix it myself so I was wondering where can I purchase these parts online besides the dealership because I know they are going to charge me a grip!

I already have a price quote on both parts from 2 dealerships but I want to know if I could get them cheaper before I purchase them. If someone could show me a good reputable website at where I can get these please let me know, this car is having more problems and visiting the shop more than I get to drive it. It's already bad enough that I have to buy a brand new rear tire at $250 yesterday and now $1,100? No way..so someone please HELP me!!

5% on main rear window and rear side windows, driver and passenger is 25%. Front windshield isn't tinted. I bought the kit from a member on here name "Gateway" If this car causes me more problems then I will sell the kit I have been thinking about parting it out. I barely installed the kit not to long ago it's pratically in mint condition...

Anyways I still need help!!

easy solution... if you know what EXACT part is broken... get your buddy's CLK and swap out the fan motor and have him take it in for factory service

not to extend me & my advisor's shadiness... but, one time... my xenon's broke, and my car didn't come from the factory with it (i put it in myself), so it wasn't covered under warranty...

So, I suggested to my advisor, what if I brought in my friend's VIN number and you assign this repair to his car that came with it from the factory... he said, sure... just make sure its a model year that is within warranty range...

in the end, i fixed the xenon myself... but it was cool to know that he would do such a thing for me

Not a bad idea but the thing is I don't know anyone who has one still under warranty around my area so I don't think it'll work for me..

Got tired of waiting and couldn't find the part. Almost every place I called said it was a dealer part or didn't have it in stock and will take longer than 2-3 weeks to get it in so I went to the dealership today and ordered it..$505.48 was my price and I'll get it in by tomorrow..oh well life goes on.
