Thread: Sticker shock when buying a battery

Tweet

I had an Optima in my last car. I paid $139.............and now 7 yrs. later I put an Optima in my 50 wagon and paid $159...........so in 7 yrs. the price increased 20 bucks. What hasn't gone up in cost?oh,I know..........my wages

I started out buying used parts then on to new or rebuilt parts and now back to used due to the high cost of things now,we now have a couple new U pull junkyards so the price of used parts is coming down some and do not have to use the expensive latemodel only junkyards when buying parts for the newer vehicles. The prices of everything have gotten ridiculous lately.

We had a U-Pull-It open up here about 4 years ago, huge money saver and not a bad place to do a bit of browsing for goodies I hadn't really thought of using yet!!!!!

Not trying to get Political Dave; Just saying all these new laws they keep passing are cutting in to my hot rod budget..10/ 4.
