Re: The price of parts. Where do you draw the line?
i thought this was for your oldie, that price doesnt sound crazy for what you are looking for.
BUT. i would ask the guy for a cash pickup price, and then as long as it will take to get to tx just take the most fuel efficient vehicle in your fleet and pick it up. you will save 85 for sure, an indeterminate amount on shipping, and maybe a little on the part too, and get a nice tour of the southern US. but for sure you wont end up with a crate of broken glass, looking for the NEXT rarest part.
once I personally delivered some parts that were getting damaged in freight to del rio tx. i got within 8 miles of it and the only bridge coming from northwest was closed. it was a 115 mile detour! i ended up looking back the road across the bridge to where I started 2 hours before.
