If you want a used one from a salvage yard, it'll run you about $30.

OP, I think my car is in need of a rear wiper motor as well. The rear wiper just hangs back there after an ice rain/snow we had a couple of nights ago. what are the symptoms of the failed motor that you observed? thanks!

in my case, the motor is actually fine but the nut holding the wiper arm to the wiper motor shaft cracked! replaced it and everything is good.
