Bought this brand new 8 yrs or so for just $110. This rack is pretty expensive but it has proven well worth the money over the years. Good products that last indefinitely.

I contacted saris customer service and in minutes the representative diagnosed the issue and sent out two new bolts and screws.
Competitiveness
I have owned quite a few bike racks and this one beats all - i have a subaru outback 2015.
