Parts cost speculation
I am not impressed:

Reuters has obtained documents from a lawsuit indicating that Jaguar Land Rover, Peugeot, Renault and other automakers have been using Accenture software (Partneo) that recommended price increases for spare parts based on "perceived value."

I forgot about having to sit on capital.
And subsequently realized these manufacturers are forced to produce parts that sit on a shelf forever by design.
Assuming there are laws that say a cat-converter must last 5 years and you must have spares on a shelf ready to go.

"Ever had the nagging suspicion that your car's manufacturer was charging outrageous prices for parts simply because it could?"
Oh yes definitely.
Used to own a Nissan GT-R.
Remember being quoted £800 for a wing mirror.
GR6 dual clutch transaxle are £20,000 I believe.
With some parts it's possible to find different prices for the same parts fitted to different manufacturer cars
