Are Car/Automobile Accessories a Negotiable Price anytime after a car purchase?

Hi,I did the following:
Q&A: Are Car/Automobile Accessories a Negotiable Price anytime after a car purchase?
I bought a vehicle in March ’09 (it’s now October ’09).

I am aware that items can be added at the time of the car’s purchase at a discount or to sweeten the deal.

But I was wanting to purchase some accessories specific to the vehicle, so I am needing to purchase through a dealership’s parts department.

Can their prices be haggled? Are the ‘official’ car accessories a fixed price at any dealership?

You can try to haggle, but it iwill not do you any good. They do not have any incentive to lower the price, you already bought the car.

The simple answer is no. They could have talked them into it if you were interested in buying the car …but not half a year later…Also, dealerships of the same brand usually sell OEM accessories for the same price – it’s standardized. However, if you want to buy aftermarket accessories from them that’s a whole other story. Generally they have huge markups at dealerships anyway. A lot of the aftermarket parts may be just as good if not better than OEM parts and cost the same or LESS than what dealerships ask for.

Ask them is there a discount because you are a good customer. It never hurts to ask.
