$90 for replacement light globe that goes behind the climate control knob in forester xt
the parts interpreter at Bill Buckle Subaru could hardly believe it either
i have had to quote something like this for a customer before, i think it was like a panel of globes/LEDS or something cause it was 200 or more i can't remember, and i couldn't really tell him what the hell he was paying for cause the catalogues picture was shit . i take no joy in quoting genuine, the prices come straight from subaru australia, and some parts the price kinda makes sense, because you have to A) manufacture it, pay those people . Ship it to japan warehouse for stock. Pay those people C)Ship it to australia, Pay those people. D) Get it to a warehouse. Pay Those People. E)Pay the staff at the warehouse to pick the part and dispatch it. D)Pay the Workers at the dealership.
some subaru stuff is suprisingly cheap. (compared to other brands i have worked with) But some other parts are through the roof, but yeah some parts you would use genuine for sure like seals and stuff, but then others, aftermarket is just as safe, if not the same, and it's cheaper cause you are cutting out all those middle men.
