It's just an outright scam is all, I don't care how "secure" they say it is, new cars still get stolen all the time! Where's the benefit vs. cost? :rage:
Unfortunately, auto companies treat service parts as a profit opportunity. The price of the part is marked up many times over cost. If you were to "build" a new $20,000 car from parts purchased at retail in the dealer parts department it would likely cost around $200,000.
