why is this even a rant?
who are you to demand a discount? are you a business? dealerships are suppose to charge retail, they are governed by headoffice, probably volvo of canada, which sets the price.
do you run a business? did you register your business with the dealership? thats the only way to get a discount. if an independant shop buys that radiator off the dealership, then sells to u, or even installs for you, they need to mark it up to retail pricing. chances are they only get 15-20% off themselves. then they need to make off labour. that revenue goes to paying their overhead.
where did you get ur pricing from? was it oem pricing? was it canadian pricing? or did you base your price off of a site that makes radiators for your make and model?
cant believe what this site has become, ppl ranting because they didnt get a discount??? join a volvo car club, they probably have an account set up with a dealership to get that discount.
if you drive a newer car, chances are u have no choice but to go to the dealership, until some manufactuer is able to copy the product and sell it as jobber or oe item.
so now ur telling everyone to avoid volvo of surrey because they didnt give you a discount? hope u dont step into a strip bar with that attitude.
