I just bought a bunch of parts real cheap in case I need them. The shifter was 20 dollars for the boot and all. I figured if my ring ever scratched the shift **** i have an extra.

Since parts on these cars are so hard to find... Maybe one day you will need a part and I will sell it to you at a high price.

I don't have a lot of parts and i didn't pay a lot for them. Just picked them up here and there cheap. For example... The ac blower switch is known for crapping out. The part is 800 dollars. I bought an extra for 50 because i know it will break again one day. Already replaced it twice under warranty within 5 years. I am sure there will be a third time and i won't have a warranty.

Call me crazy.... Or just prepared.
