So I recently had to buy items for my VX because it's starting to get to be that age for the car to replace things...

I blew out my catalytic converter last month. Being in CA, and the new laws that passed, I had to get OEM parts. So I had to buy 2 cats. I went to Merlin and he ordered them from a place in Detroit (and might have been the last ones they had). So that was a month ago. Then last week, I noticed my windshield washer reservoir was leaking, and my mechanic said I need a new pump. So I went to call Merlin again. When I asked for him, they said he was no longer employed there. Then they transferred me to Phil. I asked Phil, and he said that Merlin had moved on. So, ok. I asked him about the pump, and he quoted me $41. At the time, I was also on the web looking at the part on their website, and it said the regular price was $41, and the sale price is $36. I told Phil that, and he said, "yeah, that's our web price. I could give you that."

So call Phil if you want to check availability, but also check on www.stcharlesautoparts.com first for the sale price.

Now I might just have to buy a Tesla. Their main office is just down the street...
