Default Affordable Console Bin?

I'm looking for Part #1BQ12XDVAA... The infamous cup holder swap-out bin. Huffines in Dallas wants $80!! I searched the forum, followed a link to moparpart.com, and that one is $50 + SH.

Does anyone have a source for this that's a little more reasonably priced? It's not really that much money, but man I sure feel like I'm getting ripped off.

My cup holder is still fully functional, I just think that it's position in the console makes it feel even more cramped in the cockpit. So, once I get this bin installed, if anyone wants a cup holder, hit me up! And thanks for any info.

My dealer sold me one for $52 tax included. Parts guy said, "I don't have the GUTS to charge you $80+ for this".

I think $50 may be the best deal you find.

damn this new limited, now I have to buy a storage bin too.

I have looked everywhere and it seems ~$50 is about right.....

I have never used the cup holder and likely never will, but if it costs $50 or so to have a bin instead you can be assured I will not get one of them either.
There is barely enough room in it for a pack of smokes, not that I smoke in the car.
That bin has to be one of the biggest rip offs on the Crossfire.

100/80,

I thought the $50 was worth it, first, my cupholder would not go down. Second, the bin is where I put my wallet and Blackberry so I don't need to do gymnastics to get to them when Im in the car.

I get more convenience out of the car every time I'm in it - for only $50.

But it IS overpriced.

I thought that the newer base models come with the bin, I wonder if you could find one of those guys that would trade you for the cupholder.

Nope, but does this mean that I can sell all the ugly badges I just pulled off the car for more money? LOL

It looks really close as far as the top fit but it doesn't seem deep enough... however the price is right!
I sent the seller a message asking for sizes and that there are a lot of us interested!

Actually it may be to deep going by the length and width, the actual size is hard to figure out with no reference to gage it by.

I agree with you.
I just order a bin at Chrysler dealer for $68. My cupholder is not working. As you said it is over price, but we are spending money on have convenience in car not only a plastic bin.
