MA61 electric arial

I want to fit an electric arial to my Aus spec MA61, as I need to replace mine away, I thought I'd go with the wank factor.
I rang up Toyota today and they want $345 just for the motor and arial !! I was just wondering is there are any other Toyota models with electric arials that would fit an MA61? that way I could always go and look for one being wrecked.

Go down to SuperCheap and look at their generic ones. They're like 40-60 bucks I think, and you should be able to make one fit.

That's interesting... I got mine last year... What's broken in it? if it's the plastic drum thingy? I got one out of a Cressida and put it in mine. If it's the mast it's around $100 for it at Toyota. When you order one from Toyota, you get everything associated with the antenna, the rubber hood(black thing before the nut on top), the cap/nut and the rubber drain hoses as shown in the picture below. Here is a photo of a new one...

I only have the manual arial in my car at the moment, but it's jammed at full extension (and bend) so needs replacing, so want to go electric.
I only rang up Toyota so didn't see what was involved, but would be exactly what's in that photo, $345 is a little too steep.
Thanks for the help guys.

find a RA60 or RA65, they have the same arial.
but you will need an electric black box thing from a Cresseda,
for the auto up and down.
just buy a second hand one from a RA60 and replace the mast
like i did with mine!
