It only goes back as far as 1990 but if you've ever wondered what a repair might have cost you if you hadn't done it yourself, here's a link to pretty nifty site that Jim Garren (Toptechx6) sent me:

Sweet. On some big jobs, I'd call the dealer for a price just to get me motivated.
They only go back to 1990, but that shouldn't be any different than my 85. ~$1300 clutch ~$700 rearwheel bearing Fuel pump is the most humorous, ~$400, and I can verify that they will ask for that much, even though it's a 20 minute job. |

Don't I remember a story a while back about you replacing yours on a Sunday morning in a dealership's parking lot? |

That was on a sunday night in Santa Barbara. What do they expect when they overcharge, yet leave their parking lot lights on at night?
