  Here are 9 for sale on ebay from 50 to 60 dollars.

$56.00 looks like a fair price.
I've bought and sold such motors for about that price before.

  Inspect the area on top that the small hose attaches to. If this area is not moulded onto the top, but rather attached with two small bolts, it is not worth anything. Been there, done that! I talked with Fricken Wiper Company about reworking a NOS unit I got on eBay, and he told me to dump it and send him the original moulded unit. I did and it works perfect. The eBay unit would not work with a bench vacuum test setup. Robert E.

  The $56 price for the correct unit is a good price. I paid $103 to have mine rebuilt.
