Autozone has them for around $40. They carry a lifetime warranty, also. Which is better than over $100 you pay at a dealership with a 12 month warranty. =/

i bought mine from summit racing dot com for i think 37$ they are dorman, have a lifetime warranty and i ordered them with the standard shipping and they still showed up the next morning... (ordered thursday morning and they showed up friday morning) and the closest summit is a few hours away so if i ever have to replace i could drive them, or i could send them in but that are somewhere local to me. they were brand new not a reman and are super quiet i was very happy with the quality of there products.

Its not so much the place but the brand. Almost any "new" motor you get from parts stores or dealers will be rebuilt. Some part stores sell a new design by Doorman (I believe AutoZone has them.) which are really new.

Many people have had problems with the reman motors and have seen thermal switch failures, etc.

get one from autozone. Just make sure you use pop rivets to put the motor back in. dont use the nuts and bolts that come with it, they will eat up your fiberglass door.

my ebay motors went to **** reallllly fast when i replaced my motors the first time. I dont think they last more than 3 or 4 months tops and then it took me 6 or 7 months to actually put good motors in there and now my windows are flawless

Well slowly like my passenger side is going out and sounds like might as well pick them up with autozone since they have a lifetime warrenty.
