Hey all. So I have ridiculous amounts of free time at work that I use wisely perusing Craigslist and eBay etc. and was wondering about picking up spare parts that I don't necessarily need yet, but might. My LR3 is an 06 SE w/ 65k miles and was dealer maintained till I got it with 59k. There was some compressors either serviced or replaced under warranty as well as most of the usual Bugs that come up. My question is from time to time I see compressors show up for sale for what I'd assume are a good deal $150-200 in good condition (supposedly), should I buy one just to save for the rainy day when mine goes bad? Are they widely compatible(any year works on my 06)? Are there better/worse years, models, batch #'s etc? What's a good price for a used compressor(being shipped from out of state) with no guarantee other than someone's word that it works? Anything else I should keep my eye out for that'll cost an arm and a leg if I have to buy it from the dealer in an emergency?
Thanks. Btw I use searchtempest dot com to search all of Craigslist for rare or easily shipped specific stuff that would rarely show up nearby. Most folks are happy to ship if you have PayPal and pay shipping. I know our LR3 parts aren't cheap or easy to come by but the one guy trying to sell LR3 stuff in Bimidji or Salunga doesn't get a lot of competing offers so usually you can get a deal. Thanks
