markup-it is a free world!
even worse, the markup is horrifying, to say the least. there is no price set by the manufacturers or distributors, and also the specific brand/product that we search is not available in many places. and shipping is another thing where sellers do as they want. and many dont ship to the grey wild north.
and still our car manages to survive all these situations where owners decide to use whatever and the car still lasts and lasts for countless miles/kilometres!
folks, we are fortunate to own such a fantastic car.
enjoy it.
