Check w/Caliber Motors in California (800-252-6877). Tom Hanson was the parts guy, but during a recent call I made, found that he is no longer there.

Still, they have the new consoles for just under $200. Got one last year.

The plastic housing underneath the console that holds the switches are a bit different fit, so you might have to tug around to get things in correctly. Also, the newer console has provisions (i.e. holes) near the top for seat heater switches, so buy a couple of blanks (or actual switches, which I did).

The wood tone will be noticeably different from your old one (since it hasn't been exposed to the sun for over a decade) but not to the untrained eye.

For the price and looks, I was quite pleased. Even got a chrome surround and wood shifter to complete the look! Wife rolls her eyes when she gets in, because a keep a soft cloth nearby to wipe fingerprints and smears so that the console can always look its best!
