Parts Pricing...
To tell you the truth, there are only two ways to make money in this business.
Either sell the part at cost + xx% (usually 15-25) and charge OUTRAGEOUS shipping charges (usually marked up 200% or more), or they charge a price which reflects the cost of doing business.
We (at Marin Subaru) charge 10% off retail, and ONLY add in ACTUAL shipping charges. This covers our costs including having the parts shipped to us...
The part numbers (depending on year) should be:
20311PA001
20311PA011
They retail for 160.45, and we sell them for 144.40.
Different geographical locations have different costs of doing business as well. If I were to start an online parts place, I'd simply have a warehouse somewhere in a low rent location, and that would keep overhead low, where I could sell the parts cheaper than a prime location (high rent district).
