had interesting example of dealer gouging? down here.
had to get a climate control blower motor resistor pack for renault RS 172. its 20 years old. understandably it finally gave up the ghost. no heating or ac. scanned ebay - a zillion of these (dubious source/quality) from 39.95AUD up to 79.99 AUD - all look the same and have the same box from a far eastern factory. fair chance they would last 2 days on the job. rang renault. $475AUD. (made of gold? - admittedly it is miniaturised circuitry coated in gell and subject to high internal temps). .......and my original lasted 20 years..........slept on it for a few days and thought no, got searching hard. found a french parts supplier in sydney who had one for 175 AUD + 10% tax. brand = VALEO. same as the dealer. ? does this happen in the USA? |
