  • $2 fuel filter, $10 SHIPPING?!

    What the hell is going on with Rock Auto? They're the only people who have the fuel filter listed for the Festiva, but $10 for shipping alone feels like the Checkout button is made out of razor blades! They added a check box where you can get stuff coming in from the same warehouse to save on shipping but either it doesn't work at all, or the Festiva parts are scattered across the globe. $10?! Where the hell is it coming from, Indonesia?!

            Yes they have ridiculous shipping I agree.

              Get one made for an Explorer, always in stock at AZ, Advance, O-Rielly's, at least around here, and its $10. Fits stock location, just have straight inlet and outlet pipes instead of bent. Learned that from Greg a long time ago!
              No festiva for me ATM...
