cheapest place for bulk auto wire?

Its about that time, I gotta rewire my car AGAIN (shoddy job the first time). Im lookin to rewire it back to stock, with a few exceptions/mods. So Im wanting to get the original color wires (green/white, all that jazz). I found some on eBay 16ga 35ft rolls, 14 colors for about 80 shipped. Yall every buy bulk wire like this with just about every color you'll ever need?

Re: cheapest place for bulk auto wire?

that sounds like a good price. just make sure the device you are wiring can work safely on that small of a wire. maybe a link would also help. I've never seen a deal like that before.

16 gauge wire

14 gauge wire

apparently it's all that person sells. Ive seen 10-18 gauge on there, but they dont always have all the sizes available all the time

EDIT: isnt most of the wire in our cars 16ga? Or would I be better off getting the 14ga? Same price, so it wouldnt make much difference in my wallet
