The original DI cassette on this car lasted ~80k miles and eight years. Is that the typical lifetime?
At that rate, it could be well beyond 2010 when the current one will fail. The problem it seems with used ones from eBay is you generally have no idea how long they will last, so how do you know whether a ~$75 one is a good deal vs. getting a new one for $329.50.
But the price I paid for a new one 3.5 years ago was $266.90. So it looks like the price is appreciating about 6% per year. Maybe it is not such a bad investment after all, even though I don't expect to need one until after 2010?
