I think it comes down to what one's definition of expensive is? Here, I'll run this analogy past you (like I've done many times before to other people);

If I called you up on the phone out of the blue and offered to give you $33.86 to build me an oil pressure sending unit for a '97 Ford with a 460 c.i......would you do it?......
