A new OEM blower motor MSRP is $162.56. Are you going to be doing this yourself? Now, I know no one at TN pays MSRP, I offer 30% off MSRP pluse shipping and a couple of bucks for materials, etc. That means, that a new blower motor would run you a minimum of $114.00 and can only guess that shipping would not be any more than $10.00. The question you'd have to ask yourself is how much time and effort is worth the savings. I don't know how much a used one goes for. Personally, I don't think it is worth it and the reason I think that is because you don't know how long an used one will last. If you are keeping the vehicle, I'd say get a new one, if you are getting rid of it, or the vehicle isn't in really great shape, then I'd get a used one.
I hope this information serves you well.

Can someone help me pinpoint my problem? And if I do need to replace the motor, should I go with a new one or look for a used one? Thanks!
