I just went to the dealer today to get a qoute on a price for a couple of things. I can not believe that the dealer wants $34.73 for a stock replacement air filter! Not only that, he told me that he would have to order one! I don't like being RIPPED OFF, and I don't like to have to wait for stuff once I've ordered and/or paid for it. The K&N "filter charger" set up would pay for itself in a few thousand miles at that rate.
I have used "Foam Air Filters" in my motorcycles for years for the very same reason. I can't see spending $15-$20 and waiting for a special order every year for a new air filter for my bike. It just doesn't make sense.
I have tried to find aftermarket filters for the GTO, but Fram doesn't list a part number for one, I assume that means that they are unique enough that there isn't anything they make that can be used to fit. Brother, what a raquet these guys are running. $35.00 is gas money for two weeks, or dinner at a restaurant for my wife, 3 kids, and I.
I know I've got a nice car, and I have to expect some issues, but is it too far out to say that this is a bit out of line?
