money, money
Gosh, Pontiac always finds a way to over price you. I just bought 6 new retainer clips for the roof rack. And it was a ungodly $27.52 for little clips. Who charges $4.32 for a piece of plastic. But I had to buy them, mine snapped =[. Well once I get them I'll be completely taking off the rack and paint the rails flat black.

I needed a front license plate bracket last year when I bought my car.. and they were going to charge me $90 for the little piece of rectangular plastic.. ridiculous.. Luckily, the dealer we bought it from (non GM) just bought one and gave it to us.

Yep! I remember when I broke a door handle & Pontiac wanted 60 bucks for it!!! For a peice of freakin plastic!!! Found a Ebay seller for a knock off handle for 15 bucks. Also when I did my tranny flush Pontiac wanted $200.....Toyota $130.....Yes Pontiac prices are totally insane.

Toyota is ridiculous as well.. I sold my 97 Camry a few months ago and found this little plastic storage door that I had leftover in some boxes. Checked the price at the dealer, they wanted $72.00 for it! I sold it on ebay for $9.99.
