I had to laugh this afternoon, I checked my email and found a quote for a Au2/3 220kw spec 70mm tickford throtle body. I was thinking maybe paying a bit extra and getting that instead of the edlebrock item. But I can say for sure now that idea is completely out the window.
These little puppies come in at the slight sum of $1893.29 INC G.S.T. + frieght "VS" The edelbrock @ $380 Just had to share that one as it is the most unbelievable quote I have ever gotten from ford and i have had some rippers. Pursuit 250 kit $6 - 7k Pursuit250 tailshaft 4.5k Thats my little bit of useless information for the day

Ford know how to charge sometimes ... but then there's other items that they are dirt cheap on too.
Must be exclusive parts that they "know" they can rort you on.

I think its more a case of stopping people buying certain parts to keep them exclusive. How many people would ever need to replace a TB, its not something that would ever break. More people would buy them who want to fit them onto their XR8's.

Being a reformed Ford Parts Interperter...... if you think any of those prices are bad....
Ask for a price on major part for any of the following : Transh*t Van (try $11,000 for an Epic(fuel) pump) Telstar V6 Mongayo Explorer V6 or V8 Yes the prices are a "little" extreme.... try being the bloke that get to tell the customer what Ford are asking... I know I had my share of death threats!  : D  :

$80 for a BA ford manual. And you used to be able to download them from myford.com.au. Although I did need the stamped warranty booklet. Still highway robbery!

$140 for a cruise control cable, and $70 for a throttle cable. The wreckers want about $25 for each

How about $800 for a AU 3 Message Display Centre ?. Got it fixed for $100.
Fiesta Wiper Blades $74 a pair. $19 from Supercheap auto. The usual story that dealers have to keep parts in stock for 10 years etc, is why they gouge, so much. |

My local ford dealer also do's all the hyundai stuff, last year the wifes little '97 excel dropped the gearbox. Ford were asking $1800 for a new gearbox and front drive assay. Problem was the excel had over 245,000k on the clock and was very very tired. So i sourced another motor, gearbox, front diff complete with cv's and shocks & computer for $1690. with only 69,000k on it. But alas ford still wanted $1100-$1500 to fit it seems that the old engine was a sohc and the new was a dohc the whole wiring loom under the dash had to be removed and relaced with a dohc one.

Got my leads replaced under warranty the other day, Ford quoted them as LPG specific Motorcraft and the going price was $79 on the sheet. Luckily they had to pay .
Aftermarket 10mm Top Gun leads, $110. All car companies overcharge for parts.

If its any consolation Toyota are probably worse, ive actually heard Holden are better though.
Some of the prices are rediculous, guess it keeps the Automotive wreakers in business though.

Go get a price for a headlight for a BMW (older style), and not the whole assembly, just the globe - lol. You might be a little surprised!

They're not all that bad, and they are cheaper than holden in many instances. Go price a window motor assembly from ford then Holden. $215 vs $790. Holden want $190 for a gen 3 fanbelt, $52.00 for an airfilter etc. Some really low volume parts, like the throttle body mentioned earlier are probably outsourced anyway, and ford are paying slightly less than retail (for only 1 off) and then jacking the price up. I paid $99.00 for a new BA Rear drivers side tail light assembly the other day from Ford, that's bloody cheap.

$1200+ for BA/BF sports steering wheel, Fairmont Ghia version with woodgrain top and bottom is same price. From memory, dealer cost from Ford is around $600. I bought one off eBay for $150....brand-new-in-the-box, genuine Ford part.
BF 6 speed auto box is around $8500. |

I just got a quote from Ford .... BA header tank was $140 .... not too bad could have been cheaper. Macarthur Parts Plus .... BA header tank .... like new $40. Now your talking ... mind you the hose from the tank to the radiator from Ford as about $20 .... so that's not too bad really.

Rear RHS tail light assembly from Ford for a BA LTD (some little punk with a 4wd and a tow bar) $90.00 + GST.
Not too bad. But that being said we have a flat spot on the AU2 on acceleration so I'm gonna love hearing the price of a set of leads; especially when under extended warranty the tools decided that they would only pay part of any claim.
