I'm looking for a cabin air filter for my roadster. None of the local auto parts stores seem to carry them. I can find them online for about $18.00 but thought I would call my local Chrysler dealer to see if they had one in stock. I was willing to pay up near $25 if they had one. The parts guy tells me he does not have them in stock but can have it the next day if I want. I asked the price and he told me.....$143.12. OMG ...... This was the first time I have called them for anything with the Crossfire. I'm pretty sure it will be my last. $143.12??????? Are you kidding me? It's a $20 dollar filter.

EDIT...I had forgotten that we have a OReilly parts store in town I just called them. They will have me one tomorrow. Microgard Carbon filter $17.99. I'll compare it's quality to the original Mercedes filter I just pulled out of my 06 roadster and let you all know.

 

Not only the crazy price, but they will charge you another $120 to install it

 

This thread title says it all !!!!
Hope others will learn to NOT go to the Chrysler dealer for anything at all

 

 

Well I did go to the dealer for the airbag recall but fortunately took a photo of the dash at idle in front of the service person showing no dash lights on.

 

That is a great idea

 

The parts are also on EBAY, I did my rear axle for about 80$ and just did a fuel pump on my durango for $$$$$ 3 9. 0 0 (39 bucks) , easy install and 100 % fit and function, just did 150 miles on it w/o issues. DEALER = BAD DAY.Woody, Dealer fuel pump NORTH of $900.00
