Default RE: 1986 Bosch MAF Sensor reconditioning

Does anyone know where I can send a Bosch MAF to be fixed. This an expensive piece of hardware and I hate to let it go to waste. The previous owner of my car had his old one replaced for this Bosch (at a whopping $800.00 price) which happen to go bad about 6 months later, and I know by looking up the part number that this was at least a $700.00 part So what do I do?

Thanks to this forum I was able to get one a a decent price but this is just ridiculous, I might get a core price but thats not even close to what this part cost!! Any ideas out there?

Thanks in advance

You can pick up a new one @ NAPA for $300 (stock).... anyone paying 800 was ripped off.

You take it to the autoparts store and get a core charge for it. That's all it's worth.

At least you didn't spend $800 on it. I have a used one in a box in the garage that probably works, I'll sell it to you for $795.

Got mine off a wrecked 'F' body at my local wrecking yard for $50. That was over three years ago and it's still going strong.

Many 'F' body cars use the same MAF; they're not Vette specific.
