Actual cost of accessories ?

My salesman said he can get me accessories at cost.
Are the dealer sponsors on this site on or around cost?

Looking for rotary accents

Thanks

All the OEM accessories are way overpriced in my opinion. You can check on ebay or wait a bit till the after markert brings the costs of these items to reasonable levels.

I can get what the dealers pay (supposedly). Just wondering what that could be? I'll try to find out today and I'll post A.S.A.P.

If you look at what the dealer pays it's still overpriced. On my car for instance the 6 disc player lists for 500 and invoice is 400, not a huge discount if you ask me.

I called the dealer - 48 front, 60 rear.


Sucks


I'm probably better off buying out of state and paying shipping charges then paying the tax on those....

Agree dealer options are way over priced. Will wait for aftermarket.

What about aftermarket? I did find a site offering a turbo kit no priced! Exhaust is about $600, intale $200. Supply and demand.... if anyone knows of any sites that offer anything cheaper I am looking.

I agree that the accesories are overpriced. But does anyone know about site that sells both clear corners and fender strakes.

You should check the vendors on this site. They are very reasonable compared to retail, and if you have the slightest bit of handiness, you can do it yourself. BTW, its more fun anyway. Trussville is very responsive, but Rosenthall has raised their prices to match the others. They used to be cheaper. Also, they do not answer emails.
