have a chat and see how they justify the charge.
And if they don't bend, never go back. They won't care, but you'll make a local indy happier.
But you are not alone in getting hosed. A friend in Canada had the DI die on his wife (on a 2001 9-3). He and I were at a trade show in FL when he got the call. His wife had had the car towed to the dealer. I told him it was a DI cassette and took about 15 mins to replace and the part was maybe $300. About $675 later he got it back.
Never go to a dealer.
