and will take several days. Am I crazy or does this seem a little high?! He proceeded to tell me about the whole Daimler/Chrysler story like I wasn't familiar. He seemed now intent on the new Fiat association. I was a little suspicious when he didn't know that the rental PT Cruiser was on a Neon chassis. I'm just a "dumb woman" looking for another opinion. Thanks for all feedback.
It's not rare, and it is an atrocious price they are asking. Get it done somewhere else or do it yourself. Look on ebay and see the prices and you will see you are being ripped off.
Here's a new one at $140.
