Fuel pump off ebay

[Sniper82]

So I need a fuel pump for a 97 Sidekick and one is on ebay for $16 shipped new. Autoparts store its $135. Is the pump at the autoparts store $100+ better?

Not to sure about a $15 fuel pump...? Gotta remember its in the tank too which means if it shorts out uh... :thumbsdown:

Found one for $65 with free shipping and good reviews... Also bet their warranty would be alot easier to deal with...?

give www.rockauto.com a chance and see what price it comes up with.


Best auto parts website.

I like local stores because:
1. unless it's a specialty part or rare car, no waiting. Good if you dont have a spare car to drive.

2. Usually much easier to deal with on warranty issues.

recently i had a battery go bad on me that I had bought at advance auto parts almost 3 yeas ago. got a free replacement because it was within the 3 year limit. all i had to do was just bring it in and let them try to charge it and since it failed testing after charging I got a new one and I didn't even have to show the recept since I had bought it at that store.

Now, for my Triumph, just try to get a stock distributor cap and rotor at a local store. unless you have a store locally that specializes in that make, it ain't gonna happen.

I have bought off eBay before. As long as the person has good feedback and its new part then I would be ok.

I also install my own parts so if it went bad its not as big a deal.

My guess is, the $100 premium at the parts store is because you're getting new or refurbished (versus what's likely a used pull), as well as a warranty. The one on ebay might last you a month, might last you 100 months. :hmm:

Rock Auto.....rocks. But also price check on Amazon. I've actually found Amazon to be cheaper pretty often, plus it's usually free shipping.

Advance will price match people like RockAuto if you need it now and they have it.

heh it would be nice if they told you the actual manufacturer/rebuilder like rockauto does

for $16 i'd give it a try though

Oh, it was built in Canada...that's why it is so cheap.
Pass.
