Spare parts prices

The manufacturers point exactly. They don't want to dink around with parts. THey are in business to sell new products. It's not like it used to be. Everything is a throwaway. Planned obsolescence.
kinda goes against the grain of the automotive market, eh? I had an old boss who came from auto sales. He said the money was in finance, parts and service. Some of the cars were sold at or under cost. Apple finally turned the corner and are selling OEM spare parts to shops now.
