Why does everyone hate the dealer Options

I bought a clutch kit from an online dealer, the cheapest one i could find $113. It turned out that the pressure plate was the wrong size. I went to the dealer and payed $185 for a brand new kit. Dealers arent that bad if you go to the parts department alot the guy starts hooking you up to. I just got a toyota key from the guy 1/2 off. The parts guy can give you discounts becuase he writes the invoice. I learned my lesson nothing on ebay or online for my car, except aftermarket stuff. Also the biggest plus is you can return at anytime and you dont have to wait a week or worry about a deadbeat seller.

I think it's more of a matter of what car we drive, I mean our youngest cars will still be 5 yrs old, if I was working in a Toyo dealership & saw someone come in ordering parts for a older car, I would try to help them out with a discount since you'd think parts would be cheaper for older makes.
