Have you ever priced up wheel nuts for a 1997 Cerbera 450? From my local TVR dealer (who will remain anonymous!) you would have to pay £ 7.00 EACH, YES you read it correctly £ 7.00 EACH!!!!
NOW here is the crunch........How much do you reckon you would pay for the same item from the TVR factory itself at Blackpool? £ 6.00.....NO, £ 5.00....Oh NO, You would pay £ 2.00 each !!!! This TVR dealer is marking them up 350% !!!! Is this PURE GREED or what!
At least Dick Turpin wore a mask!
This leads me to wonder just how much cheaper other items are direct from the factory if this level of GREED is prevelant across the TVR dealer network. Can I suggest that before anybody pays RIP OFF dealer prices, phone the factory to see how much they are direct from them, you may save yourself a fortune.
