Mahindra 3015HST Parts? Filters? Pricing? HELP!

Dave, I know you say it isn't the dealers that are making the money but some of them just might. Below are some suggested retail prices that MUSA_Marketing showed on the post dated. I was recently at an Mahindra Open House at a local dealer and the last filter on the list is $39.23, he listed for right at $50 and some change. I realize there may be some shipping charges but that is about a 25% markup.

They reduced some prices on the filters in the last few months. I'm not at the shop so I don't have the numbers, but I recall the 2615/3015 air filter being about $85 before the recent reduction. Some others were reduced also. Your dealer probably bought a few thousand worth of filters at the old price (he paid more at his cost on some filters than current msrp) and he's probably trying to recover. Or he's just marking them up too much...could be.
