It is one of the miracles of modern technology that they can build a $20,000 car out of $50,000 worth of parts......and a new one is UNBELIEVABLE - over $800.

I gave a little chainsaw to my small engine repair guy a week ago. It probably costed $30 brand new. He found the parts online for about $60. Yeah right.Originally Posted by Ditchdigger

I know how that goes. I wanted a guy to tune up a push lawn mower. He wanted to tear the motor apart. Estimate was for $300 labor, plus parts. I could buy a new one for $150.
Got to comparing the 2000 and 2005 today and it looks like they'll interchange. Our son was over today looking at it. He knows a method of cutting and patching a piece of plastic material for it. We'll try that first. Second option will be a donation from the 2000. Third - we've got a line on a replacement for around $250.
Last time I broke a tail light lens, I went about three blocks and got a replacement. Took out two phillips screws and put the new one on. Whole thing took cost 50 cents and took two minutes. But that was on a '58 Ford and it was 1966. So, I should be set for another 45 years. I'll be 107.
People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
