The dealership here will NOT put them on because I didn't buy it from them although their OEM parts I get FROM a dealership, just not theirs. Total crooks!

Then you are not getting them at true cost +10%.
Considering there are many sites that have 25% to 30% everyday (and clearly they are selling for more than cost +10%).
Seems you are unaware of all the funny money in the Auto business with kickbacks and the like.
But whatever. Interesting they are not even honest with employees.
I know people buying parts at 50% off all the time. They've saved me a ton.
That is unless you think a 100% markup isn't that much. |
I work in parts in a dealership my friend. And most small "shippable" parts do have small margins. And the margin on most parts are different ranging from 10-35%, parts are almost never even at 50% markup unless you are getting ripped off by your dealership, which would be selling over recommended retail price which most dealers do anyway. So.... For instance I just bought a Bmw clutch master cylinder for 90 bucks, retail is 113 bucks. Cost was around 81 bucks. Online retailers can sell cheaper cause they bypass wholesale fees
