Need help with steering box purchase

[Dave M]

I'm planning on replacing my worn, creaking steering box when I pull the engine this winter. I just found a vines auto box on the Bay for $75 as well as another for $200. What gives? $75 seems cheap.

Any input would be much appreciated. Enough folks saying "buy the vines" and it'll be gone. Or, if anyone has a half-decent one around, I'd be interested (I'm in Canada).

Dave,

the Vines box looks fine, the $200 box looks like it might be for self-levelling (???)..... but there's no explanation for the price difference, except the $200 guy probably looked up the new list price and took 80% off..

If you're interested- I'll match Vine's price for an E34 steering box I have FS, and I guarantee more "personalized" service....
