You forget to put your alarm on one night and you get jacked. They didnt do too much damage to the dash but they gutted out my whole console, of course they took my sub and amp, they even took my ash tray! Hopefully this doesnt happen to anyone but if it does expect to spend about $250 to replace everything. I went to a Nissan dealership and they ordered everything I needed, very easy to put it all back together. The most expensive piece to replace was the freakin ash-tray $75!! BASTARDS!!!!

Dam that sucks. The only thing worse than that is when you do have an alarm and they break your window and still take your stuff.

That's unfortunate. Dealers will make you grab your ankles for OEM parts.

I think I would've hit up some of the people that post the "I totaled my 240" threads. Surely they got an ash tray for sale.

I found my receipt, it was actually $194 still a lot but I wanted it fixed quick, It hurt driving it and seeing a big *** hole where my stereo used to be. I'm new to sacramento and dont know the area to well, looking for cheaper parts would've just taken longer. Here goes the breakdown. CIG LIGHTER-$26.42, RADIO BRACKETS(2)-$15.72, ASHTRAY $73.25, and LID CLUSTER-$59.58. It took 2 days to get the parts

HA HA HA..... Well now I'm looking for an a/c system for a 95, I'm not shelling out the dealership price so I'm looking around the classifieds. Anyone know someone parting out an a/c system??
