<VV> Re: Value increases "transpo trash"???

I respectfully disagree. Price an alternator for a modern car.  Check what 
it costs to replace an o-ring on the dummy distr on a 3.4L Lumina/GP/etc 
Ovhd cam engine...  Check spark plug wire costs for a modern V6...Buy a 
starter for any modern car, like a Northstar.  Junk yard prices are 
typically half retail or at best half wholesale.  Still several times what 
replacement parts cost from a vendor.  Our prices are still relatively 
cheap.  A 20 yr old car?  You can get those cheaper still, and if you have 
access to decent salvage yards, you may be able to buy used parts pretty 
cheap, but they won't be much cheaper than Corvair parts.

And believe me, I used to use nothing but Ultra parts....until I started 
racing...and that is a whole 'nother story!
