Nissan dealers are rip off artists...

Replacement remote control - Nissan want $150 + $90 (one hour labour) to program. A new genuine remote control on eBay with programming instructions (and 5 minutes time) cost me $43.

Replacement front grille - Mine has something spilled on it and the chrome is flaking away. Nissan want $200+. Online new replacement cost me $111, plus a little extra for some double sided tape to stick the Nissan badge on (no doubt would have to do the same with the dealer item too).

Idle relearn - Nissan wanted $50 (half an hour labour) to hook up their Consult diagnostic device to "diagnose" a high idle. A quick search on the internet, print out idle relearn instructions, and a couple of tries later, my idle is now fixed for free.
