Default IS EVERYTHING FOR THIS CAR EXPENSIVE!!!

Sorry, I'm just venting right now. I was looking around for some vent visors for my car. For every other vehicle I found, the price was around $30-$40. Every place that sold them for my car was over $100. I finally found a place I thought sold them for $49.99. So I placed my order. A week or so goes by and no visors. I call the guy and he says "oh yeah, the order was on hold because no one in the aftermarket made it and he has to order it. it's going to cost $89.99." I went ahead and ordered them cuz like I said, any other place I found was over $100. Can I expect this for everything I order for this vehicle?

hate to say it but yes. An inexpensive option however is the junk yard. Many times the all of interiors are in fine shape and much of the outside as the only part of the exterior or frame is damaged.

Unfortunately around here, they won't let you get close to the newer cars. They hide em in the back and you have to order the part through them....lol

LOL, I hear ya! Just wait till you need to replace worn out parts!

The worst will be when you go & pick up a couple of bolts & they charge you $150 fro some hardware!

See now you're starting to scare me. Guess I was spoiled when I had to get parts for my American machines. But I've also had Japanese and Korean automobiles too. I don't remember them being expensive. But I guess this is my first real LUXURY car too. [:@]

I know you aren't telling me I can't go to my local Wal-Mart and pick up some coolant that will work in our cars????? That's just darn ridiculous.
