Cool I have 2 problems with my 2005 Vue.

First off, I don't want to pay $150 for a Bezel. I think it's ridiculous to pay $30.00 for a $10.00 piece. I just don't have the money, is what it boils down to. I really love my truck. I'm trying to keep it as long as possible. I have 3 kids in college. It's a manual drive. Everyone calls it a piece of crap. I believe it a nice get-around. If there's a sway bar, it's going to need to be replaced soon. What do y'all think?

I think if you provide some context for your situation, we might be able to help you.

For starters, what bezel, which sway bar, and why do they need to be replaced? Who said so?

Which bezel? I have some laying around.
I do have a sway bar for a v6 auto vue thats extra. Not sure if they are the same though.
If you're close to east texas, I can let you pick through what's left of my vue parts. Or if I have what you need I can ship as well.

The bezel is the middle part where the radio sits. I'm not a mechanically inclined individual, so, when I say sway bar, I mean the car has a roll to it.

I have at least 1 bezel I can think of off the top of my head.
shipping on those is around $25 because of the odd size and shape.
Body roll could be from control arms or sway bar bushings. Sway bars dont generally get replaced unless rusted/broken

Thank you so much for your information. I thought the guy was being a jerk. He wouldn't explain why it was so expensive to ship. It's not heavy. I just didn't understand. I will look into the those two possibilities. You guys are the best!!!!!

Shipping prices keep going up because of the economic crisis and fuel prices going up. Package size and weight is also a factor in that, but not the base line.
had someone about a year ago that wanted it but didn't want to pay more for shipping than what I was asking for it, which is understandable.
like I said. If youre close to east texas I could hook you up with a lot of vue parts (could provably fill your car) for next to nothing. I have another bin full of parts that I never dropped in the dumpster. And a parts car my scrapper guy hasnt come to get yet.
