I agree: If you can find one for cheap, so long as that control arm is in reasonable shape (not likely to leave you dangerously stranded) than it is a real money saver!

Mostly, yeah, that's why. The other part is that many people that would still own a Geo around here aren't the kind of people that pay too much attention to the underbody maintenance on their vehicles.
I'd buy one for a $200 even if the control arms were rusted so bad it had to be towed. I can fix them.
