Subject:      windshield prices
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"


Since I mentioned that I did my windshield myself, I had a few inquiries about used prices, and I looked up some places for new as well. (I got mine from a fellow list-mamber in a trade, so mine didn't cost anything.)
 
Local shops in CT quoted $300 to $400 installed w/o new gasket
 
Online quotes from www.windshieldstogo.com
 
     New with gasket, installed, $299, they come to you
     New, pick-up and install yourself, w/o gasket, $138- they have p/u locations across the country
     
Junkyard in PA where I go in the fall when I'm camping in the area, $40, but monthly special for $20
 
Granted, you won't always find a good one in the junkyard, and you really have to check them out often, but at least it's cheapl
 
I think the best deal is the $138 new for pick-up; I've seen gaskets online for under $20. It really was an easy job to do it myself, so even if I went with new windshield and new gasket, it would still be half the price of havin one installed. 
 
Several local places wanted $110 to install my used one.
