-> My buddy owns a 1991 NSX.  His door speaker began making an odd

-> noise.  He took it to the dealer and asked them to fix it.  They

-> called back and said, " Uh, Mr. Reynolds you might want to know

-> before we order the speaker that it costs $759.  Is that OK?"



 A friend recently had to replace two of the fancy Delco-Bose speakers

in his 1990 Corvette.  Each speaker is integrated with its requisite

amplifier.  The pair cost him around $750 from his friendly Chevrolet

dealer.



 This kind of stuff is becoming much more common.  Wait until you see

your first $600 alternator (Chevy, Honda) or $125 distributor cap

(Toyota).



 On the other hand, waltz down to your local Lincoln-Mercury dealer and

try to buy a Pantera alternator; never mind it's a plain old Mercury

Grand Marquis alternator... they never heard of a Pantera.
