Well... my mast gave out a while back and got stuck in the "up" position, which wasn't a problem except that the motor would run even though nothing was happening... but when some tweaker bent my mast the other day, I decided it's time to replace it.
Fearing eBay quality, I opted to go to the dealer this morning figuring $40-50 for a replacement mast.
The guy behind the counter gladly sold me his last F3AZ-18A886-A, and let's just say that $94.72 later (evidently list price of $87.91 plus tax), I'm suffering from a little bit of buyer's remorse.
It's bad enough local premium gas is $4.69+ and it cost me $56 to fill up on my way back.
I think I'll suffer through this antenna mast install since I may be subject to a 20% re-stocking fee, but at the very least I'm hoping that someone will share some options for next time.
