looking for an evaporator
 

hi, looking for an evaporator for my 2004 rx8. Im in SE Florida, just north of of West Palm Beach. Dealer is quoting $610 for a new one...ouch!! Been searching the internet but having a hard time finding one. not sure if i wanna go with a used one. Any suggestions where i can go to save a few bucks?

Evaporator is behind the dash, the piece up-front would be the condensor......

ok... thx for the useless comment.... can anybody answer my original question??

Either post in the Classifieds, look for a part-out or call Mazmart for a used one. This is the wrong section for a serious search.

Here's a little bit of a break: http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...layCatalogid=0

All things considered though, I would be willing to go used.

Thx EDZRIDE, appreciate the link. I just might look into getting a used one after all. :doh:

Is this the one your talking about...

There is no price listed though. I guess you have to call for that, sorry.

Try www.rockauto.com

I use to buy tons of parts for my Grand Am from there.

yeah, saw that site but when i called they said they don't have any in stock.(and couldnt tell me if they were getting anymore in the near future) Thx tho... i think i'll probably end up going with the site EDZRIDE suggested.

Did you call Mazmart for a price on a used unit. They are a RX8Club vendor.

You should consider yourself lucky. My Mazda dealer wants $800 for the same 2004 evaporator, and then wants $900 to install it!!!!! I consider that almost unethical, and i'm wondering if this is something any air conditioning shop can do. Is there something strange about the RX-8?
Thanks for anybody's advice.

Its about 6 hrs of labor if everything goes well.......have to pull most of the dash apart :(
