No wonder your dealer can be so friendly!

Actually Dan gave you some great advice. In a more general sense, here's the problem. You are expecting a dealer to sell you a commodity item. They buy small quantities, they sell them infrequently, they have to mark it up to cover inventory carrying costs and profit, etc. But the commodity item is widely available from the same sources your dealer bought it.

I once had a guy tell me he went to his Chevy dealer to get an o-ring seal for a TBI. They wanted $15. I sent him to a hardware store and he got 10 of them for $1.00 Same Buna-N material, same size, and it worked perfectly.

Dealers are great for parts available nowhere else. For everything else, go anywhere else!
