Yeah I guess, except it's not a big francise or anything. The only other thing I bought from him was head bolts for my car. They were super nice too. They also have motorcycle stuff.
most places sell remanufactured {rebuilt } water pumps thats why they want the old one {hence the core charge} bet you dollars to{ dog nuts} its remanu.
bad84kat is right, it is remanufactured. I thought I'd make sure since they wanted the core, and it is reman. No biggie though, it's still like new. All the inards are brand new, and $100 less is good enough for me.
I found a new OE waterpump for $60 US at the auto parts store with a lifetime warranty under P/N MD997643 (BWC p/n 1312161). The impeller looks a little more robust with a press-fit shaft and multiple spots welds on the blade/base. The down side is you need to remove and replace the old back housing like the other aftermarket pumps. The other OE pump p/n MD972005 has the housing already installed. By the way, the OE pumps are made by GMB, not the best name in pumps from what I've heard. I would have gone with the Airtex/Master aftermarket pump because the better rep, but I returned two of them because of poor surface finish on the gasket surface. Quality is probably a toss-up between the two.
you might ask him if he can get a lot of parts for our cars, b/c if he can get them and sell them fairly cheap, you could refer him to our board and if he has cheap prices, I'm sure that he could sell quite a bit here.
