G'day all,
There have been a few threads in the past about Ford spare parts prices, but I think I have a new winner as of yesterday. I enquired about a driver's seatbelt for my KF Laser for a couple of reasons. One, it will definitely be needed for roadworthy and I'll be selling later in the year. Two, it's extremely dangerous and the reel is basically non-existent. Even when fed by hand it comes loose and stays loose under normal driving conditions. Anyway, the cost quoted was about $330 Trade price (which I don't qualify for anyway)! The same part for an '87 Corolla over the counter cost me about $60 not long ago, and I'm pretty sure Falcon ones cost similar money. It is apparently illegal to sell seatbelts secondhand and I'd be unlikely to ever find a good one anyway, so this is going to be a fun situation to get out of. It really says a thing or 2 about automotive spare parts prices when even a seatbelt will be priced way out of reach. Nice one fellas.  |
