You guys seem to think dealer cost on the Sloan/A&I/TISCO part is the same as the OEM part. You are fooling yourselves. Often dealer cost on an OEM part is equal to or more than what the aftermarket part is retailed for. The root of the problem with OEM pricing lies at the manufacturer's door, not necessarily the dealer's. I have a hard time justifying dealer cost on a lot of OEM parts, let alone dealer list.
Why do dealer's parts have such a mark-up?
