I recently had two experiences with Porsche parts price gouging.

I wanted to replace the A/C filter. The local dealer wanted over $100 for the OEM part that NAPA sells for just over $20. I also might have to replace the A/C evaporator. Porsche's price is over $1800 for the part with the evaporator already in the air handling box. The OEM supplier charges under $700 for the exact same thing.

What's your worst experience with the dealer trying to pick your pocket for parts.
