Considering where you are if they are harder to find there then that price may actually be justified. I have no idea how many would be there. There are quite a few just in Dallas, Texas alone. But if it is a rare enough find and they dont come up often, disregard everything I said previously about price and pay watever you are willing to pay. Hey as long as you can afford it. And If you love the vehicle, and all.

But in your bargaining I would consider argueing that the price of many replacement parts in the future would be a large expense. If that even is a bargaining issue that would work. I dunno.
