I am sure braindead island has a host of reliable car techs. clay On 26 Sep 2007, at 11:53, Zoltan Finks wrote: > How does this sound to y'all? > > About $750 dollars to replace the alternator, and the tensioner pulley > and its shock. > > and about $160 to replace the thermostat. > > The alternator the guy wants to sell me is some $350. > > He won't accept outside parts. > > Is this price what I should expect? > > Anybody want to buy an 87 190D? > > Brian > > _______________________________________ > http://www.okiebenz.com > For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ > For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: > http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
