mx3s in michigan junkyard

Post by shameem »

For those in the detroit area looking for mx3s - i saw 3-4 in Abcat auto parts in Ypsilanti. There is one SE with good condition leather seats. There is a SOHC and DOHC both teal i think in somewhat good condition. The fourth one was pretty much stripped .... They also have many millenias, 929, 626 etc.

ABCAT AUTO PARTS, 734-485-6933. 2220 E Michigan Ave Ypsilanti, MI 48198

They are "very bad" about pricing though - i mean they will try to rob you blind - they just tried to charge me 90+ bucks for a beat up millenia alternator that was half submerged in mud....

hmm I wonder how much they want for the leather seats... I need to get the whole seats so I can get the heating portion...

hey maybe next time can you just grab the heated switches + some of the wiring???? I would really appreciate it sir!

He is in the US Mark.. no heated seats in the US spec SE's.. only in the 25th anniversary edition SE's in canada.

Wiring would probably be a problem - i tried to talk him into giving me a pigtail connector for the tails - he was acting like an a$$hole - he said they dont let people cut wiring harness - i would have to buy the entire wiring harness ($100+!!!!) just so i can get the connector - outrageous..... The guy i dealt with today was extremely rude and a complete jerk -I will not deal with that idiot again unless absolutely necessary.....

and yeah US models dont have heated seats i think.... i didnt see any switches near the brake handle..... i will check closely next time....

Considering you can have your alternator completely rebuilt and sandblasted by an alternator rebuild shop in a day for $75, I'd tell him to go sodomize himself in the a--.

WINNER: Redundant statement of the day.

ps - you're dealing with an a-hole yard and actaully bothered discussing you need for a single connector? WTF dude? No snips in you tool box?
