I've noticed lately that pricing for Neon parts in particular and car parts in general have gone sky high ...at least here in Canada. Got a quote from three aftermarket suppliers (NAPA, AutoParts Plus, and Parts Source) yesterday for a timing belt: best price was $96.00 ...yeah, really!!! Didn't even bother to check with a Chrysler dealer ....I have high blood pressure. Rock Auto settled me down with a $23 price, plus shipping. And then there's that little camshaft seal retainer plate (part #05016733AA) ....$42.65 ...wow!! And it seems to be available only at Dealers ..?? I told the guy, "No ...not the camshaft ....just the seal retainer." He wasn't amused ...or even apologetic for the outrageous price. I needed it right away, so I bent over.

I had been a regular customer of AutoPartsway ...they had decent prices, and free shipping on orders over $75 ...now, their prices are also thru the roof, and the shipping structure has changed.

Anyone have any insight into what's happening in the auto parts world, price wise ???
