I think what the OP has done is both informative and really cool. As these cars age out, it becomes increasingly unwise to pay high prices for single component failures, especially nice-to-have functionality that isn't critical to continued operation. Evenutally the engine and tranny will go, and all that OEM money put into seats, mirrors, nav, etc will seem pretty foolish. I'd rather keep mine going for $5.90 if I can and then save the difference for the eventual replacement vehicle.
To each his own, but I like this approach!
