Cheap car parts Posted by K-Saab [Email] (#1142) [Profile/Gallery] (more from K-Saab) on Sat, 2 Aug 2008 14:55:15 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
FWIW (For What it's worth) My daily work car needed a new radiator, after 240,000 miles & 23 years of continuos service, I dicided to bite the bullet. After two phone calls to national auto parts stores, I received the same price, $69.95 with a lifetime guarantee. I like to shop after the evening rush hour is over, so I picked the new radiator up Friday night. This morning armed with only a cresent wrench, standard scew driver & an 8mm ratchet, I installed the new radiator in thirty minutes. Sometimes things go right. The point of the story: An american car with a japanese engine, a US built computer & inventory system with a DIY owner & of course a chinese aftermarket part that was probably built for $6 dollars & $14 dollars in freight. Global economics at it's finest. Like it or not we live in a global village.
