Source For Muffler Hanger Brackets
Besides Ford, does anyone know of a source for the GT driver side muffler brackets?
I talked to a guy in parts at my dealership yesterday and after some haggeling he quoted me a final price of $133 for the brackets and midpipe, which was great because he started off at about $220. I show up today to buy (at least the brackets-you have to prepay before they'll order) and a different guy (parts manager) tries to sell me the brackets for around $80 apiece. I looked at him like he had an arm growing out of his ear hole then recounted my conversation of yesterday. He saw where this guy quoted me the price of $102 for the midpipe and $133 total, but said he must've been looking at some different brackets and the best he could do was $78 for the brackets. I voice my opinion on how that's a poor way to conduct business since we specifically discussed the correct muffler brackets and now the price changes from $31 to $78 in less than a day. He apologized for the other guys error and said he couldn't sell them for $31, but he could go the $78 and even printed the quote since he said that price is below normal. I had him hold off until I checked another source. Can anyone help?
