    Spare parts price shock....

    Hey everyone! fist time posting on here and already off to a great start....not.

    It all started a couple of nites ago wen my rear driver side power window failed, i had the window down and the next second a loud THUD! the window wouldnt wind up anymore.

    At first i thought it was just the window falling off the rail that holds it, but after i took it apart i realized it wasnt that simple. the motor and the vertical rail are all still fine, but a small clip broke and the steel cable jammed the part that moves the window up and down.

    I rang a mate of mine whos an auto electricain and he got a quote from holden spare parts, the price?








    $700.00+ for the whole assembly!!!!!
    :shock: :shock: :shock:

    All i want is the middle moving part and 2 wires, but they dont sell them apart, all or nothing.

    Hopefully i can get a better price then that otherwise i have to start selling 1 of my kidneys, maybe both, maybe a liver and a heart... i can do without them. Click here to enlarge

    Sorry for the long ass post just wanted to share it with everyone, does anyone know a cheap place to get spare parts?

    the only thign i can suggest is calling EVERY wreaker within 100km of you...it woudl be worth driving that far ...and prob only pay $150-$200 for the whole set...or maybe the wreaker might sell you the parts that you need on their own for $50....start calling....calling...CALLING!!!
    Do people forget that they are adults?

    Sydney north shore... im getting the unit rebuilt, didnt have much luck with wreckers. getting it rebuilt still isnt that cheap, but its less then half the price holdens asking.

    looks like i can get away with just selling 1 kidney.... yay! Click here to enlarge

    You could try ASV Spares...they import most of theres rather than use locally sourced wrecked cars......they may help....on Woodville rd somewhere....worth a go if you havent got a reasonable solution.

    Heres a better one for you all....a little off brand...Chrysler Voyager ppl mover....rear seat headrest...$1400!!!!!!!!!!!!! yes the rear seat headrest is $1400!

    Another update for anyone interested, rang ASV and got told to ring GM parts plus, rang them but they didnt have it in stock, but would have cost $300.00 anyway, so not too bad after all.
