Yes, I would be willing to buy a used one :-). If I don't find a used one I'll buy the one from pelican parts.

Evidently, it all depends on where you buy them and what make are the bearings. It's strange that the OEM are less expensive than others... Of course the price I got from the mechanic is way above the web prices... They just replaced the spark plugs for $200 (60 for the spark plugs and $140 labor). It was the first time I went to this mechanic as I was very disappointed from my last one (first and last visit 2 years ago for a top motor replacement- $2200... ouch!). I am done with mechanics... I will become one my self...
Should anyone be interested who are these non-dealer stealers, pm me... I'd be more than glad to give more info...
