I'd recommend getting one from the yard if they're soaking you for a new one, because it's a simple job to remove one - 10 minutes tops. The easiest way to grab a VSS is to unscrew the upper part of the speedo cable and remove the VSS along with the lower portion of the cable. Once you have it out, then you can disconnect the lower portion by pulling up the rubber boot and removing the little clip that retains the lower cable. It's much easier to install the VSS in your car along with the lower cable, because you don't have to go through contortions to try to reinstall that clip since the lower cable is already connected. Also, while you have everything apart, it'd be convenient to lube your cable.
BTW, once you have the VSS removed and before you disconnect the lower cable, it's a good idea to rotate the gear on the VSS and make sure that you can see the speedo cable turn.
