Chris,
I got a bomb out of a 70,000 mile '91 200TQ for $25.00 last
summer. Same thing, they had no idea this was an expensive part. I told
them exactly what it was, I just didn't tell them it was a trouble spot,
and hence valuable.
I love those deals! Like my $50.00 set of BBS wheels for the RX7
a couple years ago. (I'mm working on another set of BBSs for $50.00 right
now - going to get them tonight I hope. I'll report to the list later)
