The dealership I use (when I have to) has always made me suspicious that they have some sort of a "creative" approach to pricing... I guess its a case of caveat emptor and I just gotta do more research and quoting before spending... but seriously this brand doesn't have very supportive or welcoming arms... unless they are wrapped around you picking your pocket at the same time!
Classic example: I recently paid $6 for 2 O ring's that were half the size of a 5 cent piece... in reasonable volumes, you can buy baseball hats from china for under $2 landed, and honestly these rings really only gotta be worth about 20-30c to make (tops)... any wonder there is always employees sitting round in suits whenever I go in there! The margins they maintain can cover a few extra shiny bums!
Check out VW spare parts prices one day. They make Land Rover look like amateurs when it comes to padding prices! So much so that I won't be buying another VW.
