    Parts 5 and 10 are about $100 new from ECS and will put you around $225 to complete your armrest if you can't find 5 and 10 for a good price used. From dealing with a used armrest, I would spend the extra $75 to get a completely new armrest. The retrofit kit is $225 which includes everything but the #5 console piece which is $75 new.

    Are you planning to use the storage compartment, or would you be willing to glue it shut and just use it as an armrest if the top isn't tight? Also, how much do imperfections/scratches bother you?

    Red Bull, therein lies a problem. I tend to be a little OCD when it comes to my car being "just so". My wife thinks that I go way over the top with the Justa.

    If I could shoot the guy a low ball offer, say $75 against his asking price of $119.99 O.B.O., and get it that would be great. I have found online, a used console and bracket for about $50 + shipping, but again I don't know what the condition is. One mans "VGC" is another mans "POS".

    And, as ever, I have to watch the budget. Two teenage sons still at home!!!!!
