Yup. Dealer can get you a key in three days or less for probably $50 or a
little under that. I would also buy a spare ignition lock cylinder at the same
time, keyed to the VIN, since the original is probably worn out as well.

True.

That's pretty steep for my market based on your description. More like a $2500
car around here if it's in good condition and everything works. Maybe $3000 if
it's really clean and has records.

Ok, so the price is not stupid - just on the high side of what you would
think down where you are.
I am in Canada and there are a lot fewer of this sort of thing around here.
If we adjust for the difference in the dollar then we also take about
10% off these days too.

It's a dealer, which explains the price. Get a PPI if you're interested.

Yeah, but a Chevy dealer and about 90 miles away in a small town with no

My guess, for what it is worth, is that the car maybe belonged to the

Agreed. There's got to be some attachment or emotion involved, or they're
blinded by the tristar and have unrealistic ideas of its value.
There's a 3400 mile 1991 500SL on BW right now. The owners, an older couple
who bought the car new, went for a drive and found the car had a head gasket
What would a used engine transplant cost? The car is awesomely pretty and
might be worth the investment since at some future time this model might be
deemed a classic.

You wouldn't buy that car for upside potential. You buy it because you like it
and want to drive it.
Anyone who buys a car of that age and vintage isn't buying it for upside

There is a separate thread in the For sale forum where a couple of people
have addressed that. A decent used low mile engine would be around $2k.
The problem with that is the loss of matching numbers, if that matters. If it
were me and I wanted to maintain the value and integrity, I would have

You just did. Nothing taking power from the overvoltage

Replace its fuse, and at least try re-seating the relay.
That alone may do it.
