Ask your buddy what search terms he used to find this one----you could use it to your advantage in the future.
I'm not too bad at finding great deals on Ford parts through FleaBay---its all about how we search, the parameters we enter makes all the difference. Or maybe I'm just a "power buyer"?
When I'm searching I'll visit RockAuto to get the OEM and Motorcraft numbers, note their prices for something parts then use those part numbers to do individual searche, ie: "Motorcraft DG-508" or "Ford 3W7Z12029AA" which are the same parts. Between RockAuto, Amazon and FleaBay finding the better parts is somewhat easy. Google searching using those same numbers can also show sellers we've never heard of with great prices too.
As an example I found the Motorcraft DG-508 COP's for just over $25.50 each which is half price of what I pay at the dealership. At that price better quality Motorcraft stuff rivals the cheap aftermarket stuff so many buy due cost alone.

The old caliper is rebuilt. I am not sure how old or how many times the rebuilt caliper has been rebuilt.
