Thread: Wiper Motor Need ASAP

Tweet

allelectronics called me too and were sold out I've found some new motors on amazon for like 48 bucks... is that alot? hmmm...I'm wondering if the junkyard would charge the same.

captn: How much did yours run? Also, when you call when they ask for the year make model, what do u tell em?

As I posted earlier,salvage yards will be cheaper and have a larger supply on hand.The Saturn motor is just what monsterguts sell.You can use almost any wiper motor you can get.

ya i just called one and they said 31 bucks...even with the core charge of 5 bucks since I wont have an old one to give back.

so 31 bucks is still cheaper than 48 off amazon. !

If ya goes to a Pick-a-Part, or Pull-a-Part, or any Auto Recycler-type establishments, they run ya 'bout $15/ea.. If ya 'as them pull th' part, will mos' likely be $25.. $48 fer a motor is roight out thar in "Fleese Me Please" land, savvy? Do naught spend more than $30(tax included), lest ya be Bill Gates or Paul Allen..

As ta a specific year, model, tell them tha' it be fer a Halloween prop, year an' model is unimportant, .. th' older th' better as newer models be computer controlled... olders motor, say from a '75 Chevy Impala, or Nova, be jus' a straigh', guts-only motor. Seems tho, tha' Terry's Saturn motor recommendation be worthy..

stopped at th' Pick-A-Part 'ere in town, where it's 'alf-Price Thursday, 'paid a $3 entry fee, removed 2 wiper motors from Mercury (Ford) cars in less than 20 minutes, pulled out me bag o' gold dabloons, paid $28.xx fer two motors, so ya see, they can be 'ad fer cheap.. Most o' these Pull-APart/Pick-A-Part places, ya 'as ta bring yer own tools an' unbolt parts, bu' ta save at least $10, be -more- than worth it, savvy??

We built our first animated prop this year. We were surprised that salvage yards want more $$ than Monster Guts did. In fact, most were at least double the price! One place from online wanted $100.00 for just one!! I will be doing some searching after the season to prepare for next season!

Yeah, I'll be ordering from Monster Guts after the holiday. It's not that they're out - it's that they're too busy fulfilling orders for the 31st. I always get started too late.
