Default Window regulator prices went way up!

Apparently, anyway. I just got off the phone with Gordon at Carson Toyota and they're getting $170 apiece for window regulators now. He could get them to me for around $150. WTF over? Every thread I've seen has them in the $90-$100 range. Dammit.

What year SC do you have? 92-12/93 are less expensive. 1/94-00 are more expensiver for sure. There is a person on hear that can get you parts also. Can anyone help with his name. I don't have it sorry......

Mine's a '95, but even so I was seeing under a hundred bucks for the '95-'00 parts from what people were posting on here. Defrag, where'd you get that deal?

OP, are you comparing the prices for brand new ones to used ones?

Nope, used prices are of course all over the board. I'm comparing this info to what I've gleaned in various searches; most older posts indicate prices hovering around $95 each, new from the dealer.

Thanks for that parts.com link, that's the lowest I've found so far.
