We were told the master cylinder for the brakes is leaking and needs to be replaced. When stopping we have to push the brakes all the way down and they get"soft" we just wanted to put some in the get us by til we get them fixed. The parts have to ordered. And also how much do you think it should cost. Where is the best site to buy parts for the car. We need a new glove box handle and a new tumbler lock set for the drivers door because the alsrm goes off and the door won't lock

Where ever you decide to get the master cyl. from, make sure you get a new one, not rebuilt.

Check the dealer price, sometimes it can be competetive compared to the aftermarket.

The handle and lock are dealer parts anyways.
