I had my local dealer selling OEM brake pads for 15% to 20% above dealer retail! I think I was quoted $170. I called Vertex and got a much better price, to say the least.
I was going to call the dealer and tell him I can sell them OEM brand new for $100 a set. How many do you want?
Sometimes dealers are way out of line. Sometimes they work with you. I used to get 20% discounts from mine, then they built a new palace and try to charge me 20% above retail.

20% ABOVE retail!?!? That's amazing. I think that's what the dealers in Chicago are doing too. I've given up completely on buying anything from the local dealer. I just broke a window switch, and when the dealer told me it would cost $60 I said forget it, I'll wait a few days and get it from Sunset for $30. Bastards.

I think Porsche is just catching up with the Mercedes dealers. They've been raising the prices above list for some time now. A friend who works for one gets his parts discounted to 'retail' He now buys his parts off the web.

My dealer charges 10% over retail for over the counter sales. However all dealers have to give a dscount to PCA members. I think it is 10% off but I am not certain. It also give you a discount on labor if you are silly enough to go there.

Linh,
You should post the name of the dealer you called so we can avoid them in the future. Lon, I am never surprised by the BS that pours out of a Dealer's pie hole.
