Thumbs up My new $88 fan came in today.

My new $ 88 (Total even after shipping and curency exchange) made in Italy Spal fan came in from E bay and I installed it and its that EXACT same fan as the old OEM one,even the model number (VAO7-AP12/C0),stickers,and print ,everything just a straight bolt on to change them. My local Canadian Polaris dealer wanted $320+tax = $365! I felt like driving down to them and throwing the new fan on there counter with the bill of sale and asking whats up with this.

I thought maybe the new fan was some sort of knock off but is was the same fan which just made me steam.

no matter oem part you get, it cost us 2 arms and a leg vsd buying aftermarket. dealers make most of thier money from parts and service vs selling the product new. pretty much that way in any industry. sucks for sure.
