    @Roman can help you on the prices.

    There are a few Toyota techs on here as well. What questions did you have?

    Well I just wanted to gripe. LOL. So wouldn't you think that the "Dealership Price" for say an aftermarket part...like say a 3 inch ToyTech lift that you buy with your truck would be cheaper than say if I just walked off the street and bought one?

    It depends on how good of a deal said dealership is getting, and also whether or not the NCD has their hands in on the deal. Parts will have to make money on parts, service makes money on the labor, and the NCD makes money on both. Of course, they don't tell you that when you're doing upgrades to the truck at purchase.

    Yeah but when you buy something from the dealership and then talk to the actual place that's doing the work for the dealership and they charge joe schmo who walks in and wants it $600 less than the dealer is charging me. Just doesn't make too much sense to me.

    that's why you don't get anything from the dealer unless they're throwing it in.

    Yeah I know. Stupid me. They got me. Only reason I did is because I wanted to make sure the truck was still under warranty with this added.

    That's a good enough reason. But I would still go in and bitch to them and try to get the price down. Make sure they know that you know the real cost.

    Ah, so they subbed out the work. I'm assuming you financed this upgrade with the truck? If so, then the NCD is making money off of the upgrade. It's fairly standard practice. Anything that gets charged to the deal has a markup of some kind on it.

    Wonder if I should start a build page and show my truck through the process? Anyone down for that?
