I read your post and sent them a message. Since august 2020 the price of this rack has increased $250. I’m not saying their racks are no good, but why such a high price increase. I would stay clear as these guys are trying to pull the “covid card” to justify a price increase. Almost $900 USD shipped for a rebuilt rack is absurd.
To give you some background on how legit this guy is - I hit him up to help me with my Volke PS shims when I had accidentally damaged the piston on my pump on my first attempt... so I had to get another one and didn't want to stuff it up... He had no real idea what I was trying to do but has more than enough Hydraulic system experience so asked me to come to his shop and he would have a look. As soon as I talked him through what I was doing with the pump in hand he straight away got it and happily helped me through the process with all his tools. He then took me around his shop (which was in the corner of another shop much like CMP's setup at the moment), showed me the replacement steering shaft he had developed which eliminates the rag joint (so its just a UJ each end) for RHD cars, and some other cool stuff he had going on... took up about 1.5hrs of his time... dude refused to take any money from me, I tried to sneakily leave a $50(AUD) on his bench as I left as I like to reward legit people like that, he chased me out to my car and gave it back, Dude it legit, any cost increases will have a justifiable reason, I can almost guarantee it having met him.

Anywhere else I could buy a used or refurbished rack from a reputable seller other than Rack Doctor ? Im skeptical of the ebay racks as they dont post any information about them such as mileage or vins of the cars they came off of. I checked lkq parts but none of their 3 series has the 712 rack.
