They actually dropped to $30 a few months before the recall.

 

Yup.

Back in the day, I had to buy one from International when the one in my Ex failed. I ended up buying another one for a spare. IIRC, I paid around $105 for each one.

EDIT: I just looked up my old post from back in '04. I paid $108 bucks at International because Ford wanted $218.

 

I guess, like a lot of things, price is simply market value. I mean, they can sell them today for 26 bucks (what I paid Intl). One heck of a profit back then.

Yes Ken, only two years into this love/hate relationship. But thank goodness for people like yourself and Robin and so many others who have been around.
Thank you.
