It' always worth asking the parts guys, what's the best you can do it for, most will give a bit of discount, if you don't ask you don't get Paul; |

As the LR dealers are independent from LR itself, LR cannot dictate what price they must sell cars or accessories at, as that would be price-fixing which is illegal. All LR can do is issue "recommended" prices, although they even have to be careful using phrases like that these days. What dealers sell at is totally up to them.

Unfortunately you cannot look at price in a new vehicle price list and compare it to spare parts price, it simply does not work like that. It will always cost you more to fit an item after the point of sale, due to the parts and labour cost and this is how all vehicle industries operate. Take a part at the LR factory of which they have hundreds (maybe thousands) on stock, and during the production process they simply grab it from a bin and fit it. Compare this now to a spare part which needs to be packaged as an individual item, may need fitting instructions producing, shipped from supplier to LR and then to delaer, put on stock at both LR and dealer, then there's the time of teh parts guy needed for looking up a part number, producing paperwork etc....... Now I am not saying this directly proportional to the price we pay, but nobody is in the business to give stuff away. In the business I am in the spare parts business is what makes the money especially when compared to new sales and service. Unfortunately this is just the way the world works. |

Think you've got a bit mixed up Gambaa. The mudflaps are not on the new vehicle price list as an extra for factory fit - they are on the accessory price list for either diy fitment or dealer fitment. They are priced at £29 something + vat which as rmbillington said is £33 a pair. They are priced at £33 like a spare part with all associated costs so if a dealer tried to charge me £40 +vat a pair I'd tell him to stick them. I gave £33 a pair for mine from main dealer. I was going to fit them myself as dealer wanted something £50/60 labour to fit them on top. However, there was a slight problem with my car on collection from new so when it went in for rectification I persuaded the dealer to fit them for free.

I don't think the price detailed in the accessory catologue is ever that for DIY fitment, yes dealer fitment but not DIY cost.
