they wanted $75 for that

:ylsuper ok went to the dealership today to get the handle part for my sunroof. the previous owner didn't know how to take care of his **** so my handle is broke beyond repair. after standing at the desk for a couple of minutes the lady finaly notices i'm there. what does she get paid for again? well she types in the information into her little computer. "that will be 75 dollars sir." i'm thinkin in my lil head it's just a piece of plastic it's connected by 3 screws and isn't even electrical and you want 75 for it. i can add a cold air intake for 75 dollars.

so my question for yall is....where can i get this part cheaper? no junk yards in like a 100 mile radius have a 240 and i want my sunroof to work. :spam

Check online junkyards (do a Google search). I have to ask though, why is this in the Sentra/200SX section?

[dak2007]

i thought this was the 240 section i'm sorry i hit the wrong key

[nametakennow]

Haha, it's cool. I only noticed it cause I know you'll get almost no response here... we need more Sentra/200SX people...

I'm headed to a junkyard next week that has a bunch of 240's. I'll keep my eyes peeled for a sunroof latch. Any other years than '91 that will work?

[dak2007]

i dunno i think like 89-94 probably. thanks :spam

I will move this to the 240 section.

BTW: What made you pick your screen name?

try carparts.com. if not shoot off some emails to different yards. trust me, they want to sell you something and will find if they can make a dollar.

[dak2007]

down with dealerships let's start a revolution:spam

[D1SR240]

haha yea

[dak2007]

they should not be able to charge that much. i mean that's like me making a spam sandwich and charging you like 100 for the water. :spam

[Exar-Kun]

no, actually its not. HOw many times do you think that part fails? very few, so they dont make tons of them, driving the price up.

sheesh. if the parts broke a lot, they would be cheap(ala any GM or ford part...cheap because they have to make lots of them to keep up with all those parts breaking.)

there you have it. heres an kooky idea, call one of our sponsors, all the banners are listed on the left, they'll probably charge you much less.-chet

[dak2007]

i tried some of the sponsors. it's a weird part.

[dak2007]

and dude i know the laws of supply and demand. but that's no reason for them to charge me 75 for a 5-10 part :spam

[Exar-Kun]

photograph the part you want, I may be able to get one from a local yard and send it to you.-chet
