I was just listening to a Collecting Addicts podcast from last year. Chris Harris said that an oil pump OEM for a Lexus LFA is £85000.00!

What shockingly highly priced car parts do you know of or have you discovered. It can be everything from hyper cars to what would be considered mundane transport for the masses. If the part seems disproportionately expensive post it here.

I’ll sell you one for half the price.

I am guessing there was an extra 0 in there
or someone got the wrong end of the stick
£8-10k for an oil pump is a, this part is out of production / back order and basically out of stock price.
£85k is a mistake
Not my mistake that was the figure quoted by Mr Harris £85k!

Yeah but it's almost certainly a mistake, either they made a mistake and got the wrong price, or someone setting the price made a mistake or some sort of computer error.
It's a quarter of the price of the car
Not now though. I remember vaguely a news article 20+ yrs ago where they listed the price of a new Rover 75 against the price of the parts if you purchased them individually .I think the parts were something like £115k+ and the car was about £16k new.
