Yes compared to what the dealership charges you it is.

I know for a freaking 70 series turn signal Volvo buys them for about $20-$25 and marks them up to $50-$55.

You can go online and get them for $17.50 + shipping.

I would be more than happy to shop at the junkyard but i can't. There is only 1 browsable "bring-your-own-tools" junkyard in Sydney and they don't have a single late model Volvo. I called a few dismantlers and no-one had one. But they would charge a dump load for them as well. the $95 i paid was US$50 plus postage and converted to $95 Australian dollars.

You don't know what a car dealership is?

A dealership is where they sell cars at. Volvo dealership, BMW dealership, Honda dealership, Etc....

You didn't make a point even close to that, lol.

You basically said there is a language barrier and that you didn't understand what a dealership was.

Did I use the term "Stealership". That is just a slang term for "Dealership". Stealership just means they rape you on cost. Since they are so over priced the are basically stealing your money from you.
