Generally speaking....

Post by Dirk »

What is the most expensive "single-part" of a car?
Seriously though, what would be the one part (that can not be broken down into more parts) that is the most expensive to replace on a car?

seriously tho, depends on the car....

Good high quality seats can be up in the 50K mark.
Carbon ceramic disks like those on the GT2 are around 120K for the rotors alone

The chassis I think. Its the biggest, part. and EVERYTHING needs to fit on to it. (Lots of labour hours too)
