Wish I'd known that. My dryer is leaking oil now.

I've ordered a new one, from Mexico. $120 with FedEx. 8-10 days. Damnit. Hope my system isn't screwed.
I'm still surprised about working a/c in that year Beetle.
good luck sir.

Nice truck Lou, I remember bringing one home to show the wife back in'03 and couldn't believe how big it was in my driveway. Still should have bought since I had them down about 7500 below invoice.

Well, to be fair it's only 12 years old. New OEM parts are still available from Mexico. Except for the center tunnel this is a 2000 Mexican Beetle.

It's a Suburban with an open bed. Long ways away from a Blazer.

That's about where most negotiation starts on domestic trucks.

The price was right. My one Son-In-Law was the finance guy for Sheehee (SP?) auto group and challenged all of the crap on their papers. It didn't matter, because the deal was already so good. They don't charge all of those BS fees out here either.
Jack Evans Chevy in Front Royal is the place and I have purchased several vehicles there. I saw a red Corvette with Allan's name on it.
