so my rear wiper motor was busted.. wiper wouldn't turn. i hopped onto the used parts network, found one for $25 in PA, and had 'em mail it to me.. got it working in 30 minutes, then called the local Subie dealership..

"how much to replace the rear wiper motor in a '92 svx?" i asked them..

"well, lookin' at the part and an hour's labor you're lookin' at around $240," they replied.

feeling pretty good about myself, i promptly told them where they could stick their $190 wiper motor, and hung up..

this is sorta like the guy at the tire store who wanted $115/tire for Kumho Ecsta's BEFORE installation..
