OK, I know this is pretty much a worthless thread as it won't change anything but what the fuck is up with Sunline and their CRAZY ASS PRICES?
I was doing the brakes on the Bravada today and the bleeder valve on the drivers rear caliper stripped out so I have to replace the whole caliper... I called K's Acres and they wanted $20 if I pull it or $25 if they pull it. I was like cool, I'll swing out and grab one, however right after that call they called me back saying they had actualy just crushed the vehicle I was going ot pull it off of so they no longer hove one. So I called AutoZone, O'reilly and Advance. All of them where selling them for like $35~. Then I decided to call SunLine and ask them... they wanted $85 EACH I told them brand new they are less than $40 and he said "Then I guess you'll be buying a new one huh?" and hung up on me...
A couple months back I was looking for a supercharger hat for the SuperCoupe, again I called them and they said they had one so I asked a price and they said $300!!! for a fukking blower top!! I told them they where obviously confused about what I was talking about and explained it to them again and they're like "yeah, those are super rare cars, good luck finding one cheaper." I ended up getting one for $15 and seen a TON around the $10-$30 price range...
Slightly more recently I also called them to see about a Factory CD player for my sister Loncoln, they wanted $250!! K's sold me one for $35 and from the fukkin dealership they where just under $200....
I guess I am wondering how the hell a junk yard with such INSANELY high prices on everything is getting the kind of business they do? Only thing I can think of is that the majority of there stuff goes to repair shops and/or body shops... Oh, and when I took my 1991 S10 there (DROVE the thing there) they gave me fukkin $20 for it and then got pissy when I yanked the battery on my way out... point being I fukkin HATE Sunline!
