    I like the syringe idea for brake fluid. I'll have to try this after my Mityvac wears out.

    I d u n n o, might need it to check vacuum sometime. I remember reading: how it's indispensable for diagnosing vacuum issues, so picked one up when it was on sale. Maybe a decade back. This is the hand pump model, are you thinking about a motorized model?

    Also, last time I did a private party transaction, a purchase, I got kinda creamed with duty and excise charges from FedEx, post transaction. I would buy locally if it's available.

    There are plenty of local ways I could obtain one. But if you want to firesale it to clear some garage space and it was one of the more automated versions, I'd entertain it;).

    My cash flow for the month has been very negative, given the recent vehicle acquisition, so it'd have to be a great deal......

    But I'm always open to listening. If you're ever looking to go below the 49th parallel and explore wine country, I might know a place or 2. That would avoid shipping costs if you wanted to drive and explore along the way(y).
