Porsche knows its customers are mostly overpaid, insecure idiots willing to fork over as much as they're asked. "Uhh... yeah, $1,700 for a lithium-ion starter battery sounds right." Even better, you'll still need a lead-acid battery for winter. [MotorAuthority]

because they can! :chuckle

reading through the comments, one poster said that they did inventory at the Parts Dept for a Porsche dealership when it was moving to a new location and the sheets showed the MSRP and Dealer Cost... for a Carbon Fibre gauge cluster surround, MSRP was $1199, Dealer Cost was $4.72 :loco
