I have seen instances where a a customer is at the counter and the interpretor has put in a usual retail price. The customer gets a bit annoyed when it has to be ordered so the price is up'ed by 10%. Customer inquires about something else and gets asked for vehicle info. Doesn't have it makes the spare parts guy's job harder so 15% goes onto the part.
Its bussiness at the end of the day, time has to be paid for and its the consumer who has to pay for it.


And this is the sort of dealer attitude that sees customer pack up, fuck off, sell up, and move to another dealer, or worse still, a different brand.

I had this with Mitsibishi, and wont go back to their cars now, got told a price on the south side of Brisbane, lived on the North side, and ordered the part thinking it was a national equal price, only to have over $1,000 more on the bill when I received the invoice (needless to say, I told them to stick their parts and then went to the wrecker, got the car running and fucked it off for a Nissan).

something as simple as an oil filter can range anywhere from $14 to $25. whats with that?

however ive been very surprised to find out how cheap some parts are from dealers. i always go there first to find out, then later i guess i laugh at the cost. like hubs and bearings lol

Just keep buying new cars and then sell them again when the warranty runs out!

2 1/2 years still left on my car; if anything happens after that it's time for another one. There's no way i'm paying for new VW parts! :lol:

Some of the prices are justified some are just day light robbery. 8 rockers for an SR20 $640 you can buy roller rockers for some cars cheaper than that.
