Record price for ashtray!!!
Ebay ain't that bad. If you shop around first for a part you need, you can get an idea of how much you would pay from somewhere else liek the paddock, year one, or a salvage yard, then go to ebay and know how much you should absolutely pay before it becomes a more intelligent move to shop somewhere else.
I got almost new door panels for my 4 door for less than 12 bucks. It also helps on occasion to try and find the auctions that were listed with typos and no one else sees.
but if you have been lookin for one part for a long time, can find no suitable part, you would be willing to pay a lot to get that one part, whether it be an ashtray or a center console, or whatever you need.
