Can you even get brand new ones anymore?
What's reasonable?
I've bought both boneyard and new motors.
Autozone lists new ones online for 40 bucks.

After replacing the motor, I take the old one apart and re-lube it and, as I said, on the last one I soldered together the overload breaker. Since the overload protection is no longer there, I removed the locking mechanism on the window switch. That is, I now have to continue holding the "down" switch to get the driver side window to go all the way down. I was concerned about it anyway, as the switch wouldn't always release when the window stopped at the bottom, so it kept supplying power to the window motor even though it had stopped.

Merry Christmas
