I thought dealers were hurting for Business.
The handling package, I found for $400 cheaper than the dealer wanted to sell it to me for. I also called around and the labor charges for the installs were $200 cheaper.
The dealer also wanted $1100 for a magnaflow catback (including installation).
I called my dealer and explained to them the price of the handling package from other Ford Dealerships and what they wanted to charge for installation. I also explained that the Magnaflow catback can be purchased for $517 which would mean they wanted to charge me $600 for a catback install. I asked if they could come down in price on the Handling kit and still charge me the same for install ($625) and if they would match the price on the maggy pieces and install them for a tad cheaper.
They responded with....those are our prices. We cant do any better.
The dealer wants to make a killing on this stuff. Now, instead of them making an extra $1200+ on labor and parts (what I offered), they are going to miss out on all of it and I will order and do it myself. This is the same dealer that wanted $5000 for a dealer installed "track pack" with my auto.
I guess they are not hurting to badly....although, they have a few saleens STILL on the lot, and plenty of 2009 mustangs.....GTCS's for $40k I might add
