stupid road craters!

[trempus]

today was finally a really nice days out
so i used to opportunity to wash the car inside and out
and did a good job at it

then when my wife went to work she hit one of those crater on the road (seems like the city is too lazy to fix them) and she lost the front passenger hubcap
so now the car looks some dumb

when she got back she showed it to me no need to say that i was pissed

so when and took the same road she did to try to find but someone beat me to it

now i'm seeking thru you guys to try to help me out, if someone has one kicking around and not using it, i'd like to get it from you
of course i'll buy it of you but as you know the cheaper the better

let me know what you have

here's a pic of my hubcaps:

thanks guys and girls

hey Trempus, I've had to replace one of those same hubcaps before. Very easily found on e-bay for like $20.00. I have an 04 also.

yeah i found one on ebay for $12 but they want $18 for shipping plus there's probably gonna be custom fees

i'm starting to find that sellers on ebay are ripping us off now
there's no way that it would cost that much for shipping it doesn't weigh anything

i myself just shipped a small electric motor which weigh 25lbs and it only cost me $13

They lure you in with low "cost price" and make their money offf shipping. plus it makes it so ebay takes less of their cut because I beleive ebay only takes a fee from the price, not total cost.

That is true in fact I used that to my advantage once, selling 2 video cards to someone I met on the internet in a chat.
see it here http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...m=180319772169
we agreed on $80 total w/ shipping before hand. only ended up costing me $0.95
35 insertion fee and 60 cent final value fee (60 is the lowest, anything selling for under $10 is 60 cents)
they change the fees allot though. and these are CAD dollars.

here are the current rates http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/fees.html

Aveo hubcaps seem to go missing fast! I see so many Aveos with black steel wheels, it's like they fall off easy. I like that they added bolt-on wheel covers later, no chance of those falling off.

i would sell him my hubcaps, but they are the newer bolt on ones, so he would need them all. plus i doubt i could compete price wise with shipping and only buying one.

Just go down to the local autoparts shop and get something new.
