As I have said many times, Chrysler run the parts business as a profit centre, everything they touch makes margin, there is no cross-subsidy with car sales. Chrysler sells the part to the dealer who has to make margin as well. Buying any part from a dealer is going to be expensive. Back when the US auto industry was dying and had to be bailed out by the US government, Chrysler Australia stayed profitable despite poor sales on the back of their profitable parts business. Don't buy parts from them unless your desperate. You can source parts from US, or VM online businesses which will be way cheaper even with the poor exchange rate and shipping.
