Was it a good deal?

So this guy comes up to me as i'm getting in my car and wants to sell me some stuff. He pulls out this brand new shift knob and pedals. He tells me he wants $50 for both of them. I tell him i'm not interested. Then he tells me he'll also give me a new air filter all for $50. I just so happened to have $50 on me so I took everything. Here are some pics of the shift knob and pedals. Sorry about the small pics. Was it a good deal?

Yes, it was. You paid about a third of retail, IIRC.

Dunno but thats cheap, sounds like ebay prices so why the heck not. Be wary of bad air filters though

He just happened to have an air filter for an Evo? Most people where I live wouldnt even happen to know what an Evo is.

Umm...this is a bit shady - buying stolen or possibly stolen parts shady.

Just to be aware...just sounds off.

Or, pull out your wallet so I can grab it shady. You got a good deal this time but I wouldn't make a habit of it.
