To distill my latest anti-dealership rant: Price shop to protect yourself from some dealers' unreasonable mark-ups.

Yeah, it's wild that you can buy a DVD player for what that dinky remote costs. But remember, we're talking about a single-application electronic device that dates back better than thirteen years. Technologically-speaking, that's ages. The dealership asking $150 has probably sold 'em for that repeatedly.
