Question Used Triple Pillar Gauge: Worth it?

So I can across a craiglist posting for a user triple pillar gauge for my truck and was wondering if it was worth the cost they were asking?? I've always wanted one...but I have no idea on cost or what I would be getting myself into.

Any input would be great, thanks in advance!

You could buy a new one for that price. Plus those gauges would be ilrellavant for our gas engines.

You could use the pyro and fuel guage. A triple gauge pod alone is around 60 bucks I think. The gauges are whats gonna cost ya

How is a Vacuum gauge "ilrellavant" for gas engines...? It's one of the most commonly used Diagnostic tools, as well as great for using as a poor mans MPG gauge.

I'd love one.

I'd say it's a fair price.. maybe a little high.. but not too bad.. still saving money

Let say those gauges run $60 each or so... plus the POD.. another $60.. you're saving around $100
