Amazon has all manner of stuff



Looked up a Crunch bar on my phone the other day, just to try that feature.
Many were found for sale on Amazon.com....
Including this interesting offer for new AND USED ones. [Does not show up offering "used" ones on the home computer]

Tell you what, I can beat that price on used candy bars.

:-)

I don't think I would want the used ones. The one thing about Amazon is you need to weigh in sales tax, especially with auto parts.

If you are a member of Amazon Prime, you get free shipping but you do still have to pay the sales tax.

No sales tax from Amazon around here, and my dog makes a surprisingly good approximation of a used Baby Ruth bar .

I've gotten a number of auto parts from Amazon when they've been cheaper, including a set of Bilstein shocks. The nice thing is that if there's any sort of a problem, they take the old part back and sent the new one out for free, and darned near instantly, unlike Biker Fox.

Pays to shop around. I got a new Inline Tube fuel line off ebay with much lower shipping than their own site.

Curious who was the vendor for this manifold? Thanks.

Made by Thorton. Sold by The Motor Company. Have other manifolds also.
Go to amazon, search Olds exhaust manifolds.

You better hope they implemented test fits and quality control since they sent this crap
