But in the same idea of trying to help someone, some of us are trying to explain that $500 is way over the normal market price for that hood. So someone that might need a hood does not grossly overpay for an idea that they do not know the market rate for a used hood is. It would be a shame for someone to unnecessarily pay $350-$400 additional for a part when that money could be used for others parts or services to get or keep another Mopar on the road.
Nothing derogatory against gtmopar at all. He is being a messenger trying to help. Even though the price on that hood is too high, he still helped. Because people will understand that is too high for that hood.
I see new Mopar people get into this hobby and overpay for services and parts and they are soon drained from the experience, sell thier cars, and we lose them from the hobby. I've seen it for the last 25 years, over and over!
Finding good quality, fair, and value services and parts are a key part of this hobby.
