Local JY question... "A Deal" or "A Hole"
I went to a local JY (Don's Save More, Monroe NC) and did some scavenging to see what I could find. Anyway, to make a long story short, I found a 95 XJ fairly complete so I took off the front grill and the front headlight cover pieces/bezels. I went to check out and the barely english speaking girl said, "Grill - 20 dollah, Headlight cover - 10 dollah each"
So to summarize, it was 40 bucks for what I wanted. I thought that sounded too steep so I passed. It was all in good shape, no cracks, chips, etc. so was that a good deal or am I just being really cheap?
There's a different JY I regularly deal (U-Pull-It, Rock Hill SC) with and they sold me a luggage rack bar from an XJ for 2 bucks just last week.

That's really expensive.
To put it in perspective, I got an entire rear hatch panel for $7.50

You guys have awesome JYs!
I left with a turn signal bezel, one of the small gears from a D35, an owners manual and the turn light bulb socket for $10.
Leafs cost me $40 and wheels w/ tires cost $20.
But it ain't no new hatch for $7.50! That's insane. Did it have glass? I'm figurin' on $40+ per door and $60 for a hatch at least.
