Do you think this would be overpriced?

Ive been doing some searching for a couple parts for my ford fairmont ghia.

Ive found the climate control unit i need to replace my current one, but a spare parts company who has one, is charging $195 + $60 Postage coming from Darwin.

Overpriced at all or been taken for a ride?

Hi hunter.. I am sure some of the posters who know more about car parts than the rest of us will be a long later to help you.

Hunter-that price maybe right.-$60 00 postage seems a bit rough.

Try the local Ford dealer or a wrecker with puta contact with

other switched on wreckers -worth a try-hope it all works out for you.............Richo..

sorry richo. couldn't resist

I have an old Ford Fairmont.....not a Ghia though

Yeah it's old but I feel safe in it....heavy metal/solid panels and doors....a 'boot' and a decent length bonnet at front.

As a volunteer ambo years ago in regional WA I saw too many car accidents.....learnt that it is better to have a solidly built car when driving. Hatches and 4WD/'SUVs' leave me cold. They 'flip' etc so easily......no-one talks about risk of decapitation do they?

Have to get another window button console thingy as 2 windows won't open atm.Over the last 15 years I have replaced 2x at very affordable price from wreckers. Brand new the price would pay for a weekend retreat, somewhere exclusive-out of my price range.

Don't go near the Ford dealer/s EVER!

Go to auto shops like Auto One or Discount Autos first.....they are reasonable for most stuff and wreckers for the 'sophisticated' worn out parts.

Ive tried my local wreckers, and finding a fairmont is kinda tricky

[joz*garage]

what year is the car, hunter?

i'd source parts locally too as bloke suggested, somebody clued up may quote you cheaper and install it for you

[the_hunter04]

Its a 99 Ford fairmont AU ghia

[joz*garage]

can you fit the part yourself?

if not i'd be searching for an air-cond service work shop, and then ask them if they can get the part for you

annnd, how much for the job

[the_hunter04]

I know of a mechanic that i can ask to fit for me
