Default MOPAR Skid Plate Pricing (AKA Dealer Ripoff?)

I have a $200 service credit on my account at the dealership because I got my Jeep back with a bad scuff on the bumper I'm using it to buy a new MOPAR Skid Plate, and wanted to see what others have paid for this.. or if you know the price.

Dealer told me $350 for it. MOPAR site says $250.

Is the dealer pulling the wool over my eyes?

Woah, big price difference.

Seller's page says he only ships to the US. I'm in Canada.

I bought mine from my dealer. They listed it at $246 but since I bought my jeep there, I got 25% off so it ended up being around $185.

Thanks! I may just bring along a print-out of the MOPAR site, with the price on it.

350 part only..

I phoned other dealers in the area and got a number of different prices. Supposedly Canadian MSRP is $355, and dealers are free to sell for whatever they want. I found a dealer that would give it to me for $270, however my credit doesn't apply there. So basically, I'm stuck with the original dealer and have no bargaining power because they're the only ones with my credit. So obviously they're going to charge me full pop because of the credit..

oh well.. Hopefully picking it up today. Once the rain stops here in Vancouver, I'll install it.
