I emailed the dealer and they told me I had to come in. I went there in
person today and the guy behinds the parts counter had no idea what it was
about so I'm glad I brought the printout. He quickly figured it out and
ordered it for me. You have to pre-pay and it arrives at the dealer in a few
days so I have to go back when it gets in.
What I get a kick out of is this dealer has old ads on the walls for
decoration, like '65 Beetles and splitties. Hmm, vehicles they used to sell
when the dealership was busy....

I was sure interested in some of those 25 dollar radios on that site.......
but I didn't see anyway to buy one, or anyone to call.
what did I miss ?
thanx, Scott
or just tell me what you did to get one off that site.
