Only a couple small ones on this island. Probability of finding a late
model Ex there slim to none. The vehicle only has 12k miles on it, I
wouldn't put anything except the exact replacement on it.

I doubt it, say $100 for the tank, $50-$100 to ship, and hours of my
time searching for it (my time is worth a lot to me) and then waiting
for it to arrive (not having this vehicle is a pain). I just sold my old
Ex a week ago.

On other things where time is not of the essence yes that can be a good
option for me. I can get parts for my 89 BMW 325i that way. Example,
used sun roof $75 plus shipping, OEM unpainted blank $400 at my auto
body place.
