What I can’t believe is that we keep talking about the price of parts (eBay or Mopar) that are no longer manufactured, and are getting harder to find

$130 is a small price for an item in really short supply and it’s still available. It would cost 1 hour labour for any shop to assess an issue with your car.

1 hour labour st any shop to assess any issue is about $100 and the part are about the same price. That’s a deal, you know what’s wrong, you can correct it on your own and spend under $150. I call that the deal of the day.

thats less than a movie and a night out

these cars are aging out so we’re going to have to either shell out the cash to keep them running.
or scrap them

Everything is expensive but it’s cheaper to repair than it is to purchase a new replacement
