Default Used parts question

HI all,

Forgive me if this should go in the classifieds, but.....

Over the weekend, I helped a family friend do a timing belt and serpentine belt job on his wife's 95 850. They bought the car about 6 months ago and with 150K on it, and he decided it would be a good idea to change all the belts, etc.

Anyway, yesterday he called me to tell me we probably did all the work for nothing. His wife decided to go thru some paperwork that came with the car and found out that all the belts, rollers, and tensioners we just replaced were done at 120K.

So they now have a set of rollers, tensioners, pulleys and a water pump for a 95 850 that only have 30K and change of use on them. They would like to see if anyone would be interested in them for a fair price. (i.e probably half or less of the price of new). I told them I would ask here and see if there is any interest.

Thanks,

Glenn
