you wont believe the cost of jeep spare parts

[steve.zissou]

I have replaced a few panels on my FG ute - mainly as a result of stupid kangaroos and wombats. Nice and cheap and quick to get.

I got a new jeep grand Cherokee recently and had the misfortune to side swipe a tree. Besides the fact that it took 7 weeks to get the car back due to part availability, here are some of the prices for some part according to the smash repairer

passenger side mirror - $3300 (yep - just the freek'n side mirror)
door (metal only) - $2200
side window - $1900

If this is what we are in for with american cars after falcon and commodore go it will be interesting
