So just how rare was the GXE auto climate control?
I only ask because there's 5 GXE's at my local junkyard with auto climate control. Are they really not that rare then? I grabbed the nicest one but I couldn't remember off hand what all else I needed so I ended up just getting the unit itself and that tube deal with the temp sensor. I'll have to go back and get all that other crap I guess

its pretty rare. i mean my gxe has it and i have about 5 other replacement units in my shed but usually when i go to the junkyard i usually find 2 out of the 15-20 maximas that are junked. so yeah i would say its pretty rare. here you go: http://www.geocities.com/craigbrace/ this is from Craigs old maxima. amazingly its still up but there you will find all the parts necessary for the swap.

Yeah, I looked up Craig's page when I got home. I can't believe how much crap it requires. Frankly, I think I may just be too lazy to go back and dig all that stuff out 
but we'll see. I think the auto climate control would be a nice touch in my new VE since I plan to get the leather and whatnot re-done in that one

I go to what used to be Al's (one location at 2nd Ave. and another on 310), but now it's LKQ which means they've removed their big sign outside with the posted prices, have hired a bunch of retards, and try to charge you outrageous prices when you're ready to pay while consistently ringing you up for the wrong item.

Plus the retard who works at one of the locations has no joke spilled my Blue Point socket set all over the ground on numerous occasions. I've gotten into it so many times with that guy I'm surprised they still let me in there

digital climate
digital dash
ABS (it was an option back then...but a maybe on this)
sonar suspension with summer tires (maybe...wasn't sure if it was separate or together).
the cost was like a grand or so more.

It had to have been a standalone option even though it was included with the digipack. I've seen several standard GXE's with ACC at the junk yard. I also used to have a Canadian VE with factory installed ACC..
That sucks man, you might want to give the corporate office a call and let them know that the yard is going downhill. Judging from the improvements they made to the yard I go to, I don't think that's how LKQ does things. I think they're all about customer service. They do a lot of advertising about their 30 day return policy and whatnot.
You could throw in the bit about your socket set being dropped by employees every time you go in there, just to put it into perspective, sounds like it's run by the village idiots.
Wow, lucky. Al's used to have a HUGE sign outside with the prices clearly posted for nearly everything you could possibly think of, and the prices were great too. Now since that's removed not only are their prices really high, but they seem to fluctuate daily (and that's even after arguing with them and finally getting them to look up/ring up the correct part). I'm there alot and I swear I could get something today for lets say $20, then go tomorrow and it'd suddenly be $50. Of course my other conspiracy theory is that since I don't exactly look like the junkyard frequenting type that they think they can take advantage of the "outsider".
