Depends what you mean by rare. If you mean finding one in a junkyard, then
probably so.

Mine was very easy to find.  I went to the dealer, spent $120 for a brand
new 160 Motometer speedo, and drove home.	 I was sick and tired of fixing my
speedo (odometer) every few years.  Now I don't have to worry for at least
100,000 miles.  The change from 120 to 160 took awhile to get used to, but I
don't even notice now.  The odometer works (metally add 188,000), the
speedometer is accurate, and I'm happy :)

There's an overpriced ($99 or so) cluster with a 160 speedo on Ebay right
now. I see no point in spending that much for a used speedo that we all know
will break soon. But to each his (or her) own...

Anyone know the life expectancy of a Motometer vs. VDO?
