Absurd pricing for a Clock

[Omes01SLE]

I called numerous Toyota dealerships to replace the Digital Clock in the dash (2001 SLE), expecting a price of around $100. They are telling me that the price for just the clock is $508.61!!!! - unreal! The Toyota part number is 83910-AA020

any suggestions on where else I could pick one up?

as crazy as that sounds its true.... I ended up paying $400 for the clock replacement on the other 2000 Camry of ours~ sorry buddy....don't think there is other choices

dyam! damn dealership bastards

i got ripped yesterday on strut boots. $90 for TWO rear ones...its just rubber dammit!

but i did get 2 TRD funnels for free cause she forgot to ring them up, sucker.

You'd be better off getting an aftermarket radio, as many come with a clock display. I don't think the clock removes from the trim piece, which is my guess as to why it's so expensive.

i believe the vehicle will still run well with out the digital clock on dash, $500+ a clock, you better off looking at ebay or junkyard, or use that money buy yourself a nice wrist watch.

The clock removes from the trim panel easily, two screws once you remove the panel. The panel just pries out (use a screwdriver with tape on it, it has tabs all along te edges). You can pick up a used clock on eBay for maybe $20-50 if your patient. Try car-part.com and getusedparts.com also. Your 2001 model clock should be interchangeable with any clock from any 99-02 Solara but check the pictures and connector first.

If your apprehensive about removing the panel or anything, get ahold of a Haynes manual at AutoZone or the like, or go to the parts department at a dealer and ask for a breakdown prinout with the diagrams of how the panel comes apart.

Also, when I disconnect my clock, my turn signals stop - though with yours it's probably just the screen part that's dead.

PM me if you need help finding one or replacing it .

$508 for a $20 digital clock. No way! Id do without or just get junkyard one or another that is close and fits the hole.

Is that Canadian or American dollars? Still... either way is too expensive.
