   Yes, I've definitely thought about that, and I don't know what would   
   happen.

   The trouble is that used is used, and this is a part that wears out.   
   Even if the yard doesn't want to sell a bad one, it could be good now   
   and bad 5000 miles from now.  Plus once it's removed from the car, one   
   can't tell how tight the pivot is, and even when it's in the car, one   
   can't tell unless he drives it and turns left.  And junk yards don't do   
   that.   
      
   Plus carparts.com I think it is had several for my model that are black   
   or ivory, and several with no color specified -- so I could call each   
   one and ask -- but none marked tan.   I thought tan was a popular color   
   for these car interiors, but maybe not.
