Bill - We've got NOS 100MPH speedos with trip odometers we bought about a year ago for 82-91 Vanagons at a decent price. The dealer still gets about $261.00 for these things, which is nauseous at best. We get $120.00 outright or $90.00 in exchange for your bad speedo, which we send to VDO to get rebuilt. Ask for P/N 251-957-057BF and don't forget the V@L 10% discount (that means they cost ya $81.00 exchange plus $35.00 until ya return the old one). Remember, these are brand new units, not rebuilts and they're zero miles on the clock. Call 1-800-792-BOYS (2697). Hope this helps - I really wish I had the gears, 'cause I'd offer to sell ya one. Wish I had a tach for myself too. Jim / BusBoys@aol.com
