    I have learned recently that dealer prices in the NYC area vary widely
    as well, e.g., something that Metro Honda (Jersey City) charges $0.81
    for Hudson Honda (North Bergen?) charges only $0.56. Also, Metro Honda
    charges $2.64 for the same part that Honda of Essex charges only $2.02.

    I was at my local dealership today and I found more markup evidence.

    There was an invoice from the dealership to a garage nearby that buys a lot
    of stuff from this dealer. It was upside down, but I managed to memorize it
    anyway.

    Part#: 35770-SEC-A01 (SW/PWR RR)
    List: $82.45
    Actual price: $65.96

    So the garage got a 20% discount. I normally get 10%, and got 10% today.

    Makes it important for those of us on a budget to shop around, for sure.
    At a certain point, I run out of time to spend on the
    phone/online/driving around to pick stuff up, though.
