Default $50 for an oil pressure sending unit? Tell me again there are NO conspiracies in America



I was prepared to pay say $20 and just about fell over when the clerk
wanted 50!! I bet it costs $8 tops to make that little thing. This
ain't no free enterprise system.

So what, you want "The" Government to regulate (dare I say dictate)
prices? You want more laws?

The vendor is free to charge what they want. You are free to pay what
you want. You are free to go and buy it somewhere else.

You're an imbecile. That'w why they raised the price when they saw
you coming...

Electrical tape over the light is much cheaper; it'll burn out eventually
anyway.

Maybe you can just set your caltrops in front of it.

Don't fall for it. There are two options here.

1) It's made up and another troll post. Because 'it' has already
admitted it doesn't fix stuff like this.

2) 'It' is actually upset about the price of the part and was trolling
before and trolling now.

So, in either case, could everyone just kill file 'it'?

50 bucks? That's worth about $40 more than your piece of **** beater
you drive.

My dad bought an early 70s Ford Maverick at an auction sale once for $10.
He took it home, put some gas in the carburetor and it started right up.
This was probably around 1990.
