I have a new benzo but it's a cheap one.

They still look at you with disdain, new or old. I think it just comes from the poor parts guys dealing with snobby bastards all day long (new benzo owners

).

One of my local dealers I won't even stop at for parts, the place where I bought my new one. The other one I stopped in for an oil filter for it's first change and they weren't quite sure why I would even be buying one. But they were friendly and made sure I had a new drain gasket too. You think I'm going to pay them $150 to change my oil????

I don't bother with any of them for the old car. If I need a dealer item I get it from Tom at the Classic Center in Irvine. Try him out. For aftermarket and maintenance stuff, hard to beat peachparts and the other e-tailers.
