Autosoft has cost at $57.01 as well. Thanks for the heads up! We just got 6 in this morning with 6 more set to arrive tomorrow, we had three jobs done that I was able to correct before the paperwork was submitted.camaroman wrote:FYI. We are on Dominion/ACS and just realized that the cost for air bag 84304240 is wrong. Dominion/ACS has it as $57.01 and Global has it at $35.31. On hold with them as we speak. They are getting back to me everything on their end says it should be $57.01. I will update as needed.
I would almost guarantee that the cost discrepancy is due to GM lowering it after the December price tape was compiled.
Re: TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL
Food for thought and your consideration - it pisses me off...
84304240 was $57.01, now it is $35.31. Difference is $21.70. GM would have paid a MINIMUM of 40% mark-up on that $21.70 or $8.68.
There are supposedly approximately 6 million of these trucks out there to do. Assuming they would all be done - NOT likely but makes for an interesting calculation.
$8.68 not paid to dealers times 6,000,000 = $52,080,000
That is $52 million saved by GM
That is $52 million dollars in profit TAKEN from dealerships parts & service departments.
Keep in mind that GM is REALLY concerned about dealer profitability and are pulling out all the stops to assist dealers in this time.

On a side note I too tried to order
the air bag(s) - as the bulletin states, they cancelled.

Re: TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL
I ordered 20 airbags yesterday on a CSO order and I received 5 today. I am thinking they are limiting qty's to dealers. My DMA told me that Dec 8th was the first day that GM opened up ordering for these so I put an order in right away. Customers are already calling about the recall wanting to have service schedule them in.smoyer wrote:Anyone have any luck getting these after the pre ship orders came in?
