Cool.
I'd hardly call that the 'FI controller. '
Yes, 75 is far more fair on one of those. I priced one recently new at the
dealer....
It was obscenely far more than 75ish, like 4 times that I believe, even
more.
It's one of those parts I'd rather have around in case I need it, than sell
one.

Scott,
we are talking about the ICU behind the tail light. $75 is fair for that.
I have matched sets of ICU, ICV and ECU, all d versions from late model vans
available. Plus all associated wiring harnesses if needed.

Regardless of what they go for on ebay,
If we're talking about an ecu for a 2.1 wbxr, especially the D suffix one,
75 would be the very lower end of the scale of what they are worth. Price a
new one sometime. I don't think I'd let one for for that little.
And when you gotta have one, you really need one.
I know the guy wants to help out his tech, but having a spare is very nice.
I wouldn't consider owning a vanagon without a spare ECU or two for it, at
least one.

they go at auction on eBay for $25-75 all the time. if the part# has a D at
the end it is from a late model and was supposed to have been upgraded from
the early years.

What should I charge him? BTW: he is my favorite mechanic, and has
