I think the importer is taking a bigger cut than you think. I would guess dealers are paying closer to 18.00-20.00/ hatch and shipping from the importer to the dealer on top of that. The dealer has to make a margin and there is your $33.00. Cheers, -- Rob Cookson "I like a little rebellion now and then. It is like a storm in the Atmosphere."
