What's going on? Everywhere I've read on here it's about $32 to $35, yet today I drop into FORD PARTS in Fyshwick and they're telling me it's $66.

I thought yeah right.. I'll drop into Ford this arvo and see if they're in stock. Dropped into Ford belconnen, and the spare parts dude was yup we can get it, $65.80. WTF!

They're nice enough blokes, and confirmed prices are set by Ford Australia, as in all prices are the same dealer wide.

And no, it's not the whole box n all, just the snorkel here team.

For this price I'm hardly thinking it's worth it.. Has anyone got one of these in the last 2months? How much was it?!

Had the same sorta thing when I was looking for a snorkel. Some dealers were quoting around $80, and then found one that was only chargin $36. Phoned back the dealers closer to me, told them the price I was quoted by another Ford dealer, and they beat it!

What dealer was it dude?

We shouldn't have to haggle when the prices are supposedly set.
