[quote][i]Originally posted by Steve[/i] Bit of a discussion going on in my project about dealer rip off prices, and also a rant in PL from me, so this could be the third place you have seen me waffling on about this :lol: [quote]Its got me thinking. Why isn't anyone investigating it. Or at least gathering a bit of evidence and presenting it to the dealers/tading standards. It's easy to do, there are 100's of manufacturer parts that are branded with the same part numbers that the dealers just use and rebrand then sell on for double/triple the amount! I would like to see what response you would get if you purchased for example a Gates timing kit off ebay for £60 then a dealership one that use the same parts just in a dealership branded box thats is twice the price.[/quote] Stemmed from this [quote]Defender oil pressure switch, cheap ebay 3rd party one £4, high quality expensive ebay 3rd party one £8 Dealership genuine part, £30!!! [/quote] Basically, dealer prices, a lot of the time the genuine parts are made by someone else then put in a dealership box, a lot of the time you can go on ebay and find the same part in the OEM packaging for a fraction of the price, how are they allowed to get away with this? I think it is misleading for customers who havent the knowledge to realise the same parts can be found cheaper on ebay [Edited on 28-01-2015 by Steve] [/quote]
