Now, keep in mind, for as much as paid, I STILL paid half, almost 1/3 what I would have paid buying each part off ebay...................
PAP now has this fee they charge for an extended warranty on ALL parts. It's not an option and if you balk about it, the woman in the window suddenly doesn't speak English.
It's a friggin' DAKOTA, not some Hemi Ebody.
The 'hobby' is being killed off ain't it?
Considering inflation I don't think that's bad at all. It's the entry fee, warranty and charging SALES TAX on those items...
FWIW, in 1998, I needed a power passenger side mirror for the Ramcharger, had to wait MONTHS for one to be built, 2003 cost? $300
