You can still get a 'reman' rack and pinion from Autozone for $135.99 plus tax, with free 2-day shipping (with a free trial of Shoprunner), and it looks like this (if it'll post)(Oh, it won't cause it's 3.3 MB, but rest assured, it's very shiny)

. The sticker on it says 'Manuf in Taiwan', and there's no core charge, which usually indicates a new part, at least in my experience.
Just an fyi, Ladies and Gentlemen.
