That's what I thought. Everybody has to make a living, but to charge me $500 for parts for $190 worth, is outrageous. I priced everything with the Vicky Brit catalog. This is my first experience with

Ever try to buy parts for the Merc, shopping around as we all seem to do for our Triumphs? I'll bet there's some stuff (at least non-dealer-only items) that can be had much cheaper away from the sign
