and I do contribute to them frequently. BTW when I got the gas cap I paid for 2 door handles $10.00ea. 3 pieces of crome molding $5.00 and a rear window rubber seal $10.00. And I checked the price on the cap it would have been the cheapest part at $3.00. plus I got screws and nuts for verious other things with the cap. And at this same yard I got my front disc spidles for $40.00ea., a front fender $35.00, Front valance $30.00, Granada 7/8" sway bar $40.00 end fittings for sway bar $10.00ea., Granade 21 gallon fuel tank $50.00, Front and rear bumpers $50.00ea., Grabber grill $30.00, Bucket seats(best deal) $40.00ea. and a 3.40 8" gear set for $35.00. So I think I've earned a $3.00 gas cap that wood have been crushed or lost in the dirt. BTW it is a VERY NICE Comet gas cap.
: I would agree that sometimes prices are high, but "malls" have to contend with EPA regulations dealing with freon, antifreeze, lead in radiators, gas tanks, and oil. It is costing the "malls" more and more just to stay open. Has anyone noticed more of them are shutting down. We need to contribute to their business so that we have "malls" to find our parts!
