Default Why Honda dealerships have different pricing for the same item ?

- I must callled like FIVE different Honda dealerships for a EM2 Front Sway bar P/N 51300-S5D-A01 for my BCRH, and all of them give me differnt pricing for some reason ($63, 66.40, 77, 70, 68.99) why is that ?

- On top of that can I run around without a front sway bar until I get one ?

They are probably all under list price and some charge more than others just like any other stores.

Yes you can run without a front sway bar (or rear for the matter). I haven't had mine on for ~5000 miles (lazy).

Because honda dealers are frachises just like ,Pepboys, Jiffy Lube, etc.. and each can set their own prices. Generally they go by MSRP but locale plays a big role in pricing.

So what's the issue? Buy from the place that's $63. Or tell the most local dealer that X dealer has it for that and they'll usually match prices.
