Default does anyone have a good used blower motor?

Paul's business partner lives close to me and needs one for his '98.

He's not going to keep the car that much longer so used might be an option.

You probably don't have the solar roof. Mine died at 79k.

Default I do, but where I live it only operates 5-6 months a year ;-)

I do have a squeak in the bearings, but not enuf to replace yet.

Default ...AND in the winter - basically it is mostly affected by the...

...'sunlight' sensor on the top center of the dash. Cloud passes - cuts off / sun returns, it's on.

<<<I love it>>>

I hated initially as it sorta pollenates my interior each May (my fault for not getting new cabin filters), however it simply *RULES* at at least mitigating the amount of ice build up while I'm parked outside all day at work during the doldrums of winter (I reaaaaaaally miss having my parking garage @ the office).

My '01 fan w/ 130k does squeak 'some', intermittently, and only during the cold months.

And when it fails - warranty 8-).

But does solar roof = guaranteed early failure? Apparently nope.
