He's got a gen III though, its just a guess anyway.
I figure with Mopar, if you think a part sounds expensive, start at $100
(minimum price on any part), triple that price if made in Mexico, quadruple
if US made, add at least $175 for Daimler (weinerschnitzel is expensive!),
and triple it again for dealer profit.
((100x3)+175) x 3 = $1425 (equals you getting screwed)
Actual cost, $25 (Mexican labor is cheap)
I was once quoted $97 for a Dodge rubber lumbar-inflator-bulb for a seat, I
bought it at Murray's for $1.97.
