Parts price question

I've got an option to buy some parts off of a salvage, but clean, 88 TC. Couple of things I'm looking for are the snowflake wheels and the rear tail light panels, which this car has both. The guy wants $120 for all four wheels (really good condition - just need to be cleaned) and $60 for both tail light panels, also in really good condition. I really only need the left but I thought I'd buy them both.

What do you guys think? Too much, just right, or great deal?

Thanks!!!

Sounds like a great deal to me .... just my opinion. Check on the price for all four calipers .... I want to have an extra set on hand just in case I have a problem with one of the guide pins.

and get the price of all 4 rotors... I could pick those up in a day =)

Coach,
Good price on the rear tail lights.
The wheels... depends what you mean by really good condition. By the time the wheels have bad clear coat (any bad clear coat)and any pitting in the rim, a bad set cleans up as well as a better looking set. What I mean to say here is, as long as there is no damage to the rim being curbed etc, a little pitting or a lot of pitting, as long as it isn't very deep, requires the clearcoat to be stripped and the wheels to be sanded/polished. So in effect, it takes no more work to cleanup a rougher pair than a cleaner pair.
It might be possible to strip discolored clearcoat and do a light polish and re-clearcoat. However, I've yet to see any rims that once the clearcoat had gone bad, didn't have some pitting that made "simple" polishing worthwhile. Then it's into the sanding and polishing and as I said above, there is little difference between a little pitted and a lot once you have to remove all the machined texture.
