Thats about how much i got mine for used. (i got the copper one w/ coolant bypass because im in Chicago). But yeah, make sure the correct amount of extended bolts vs short bolts are included.

seems high for a used one. I paid $189 for my new MD 5/16th about 2 months ago. If you do buy it make sure it comes with all the bolts.

should be more in the 150 range.

Also early versions used OE gaskets (you need one extra)
New ones have gasket on the spacer

plus needs to be c/w longer bolts.

i paid $100 for my MD 5/16 Iso Copper plenum spacer from a fellow OGC member. and he also installed it for free

to the OP that price is way to high for a used one

$189 new on ebay - 8% bing cashback = $174 shipped no tax. Just bought some new tires that way and you can't beat ebay pricing with bing cashback. Copper ISO you say? Looks like $255 right now - your bing = $235. Take advantage of the bing cash back people. It's been going on forever and hardly anyone uses it or knows what it is. Search for it on slickdeals or fatwallet if you're not familiar with it.
