Dealer wants 5k to repair ONE strut in my ‘14 i8. They’re in negotiations with the 3rd party company that holds my extended warranty (paid $4k for extended warranty in 2017).

Will probably take the car to my personal mechanic. I think a strut and other connected parts is something he can handle, even if he’s never worked on an i8.

Anyone think this is outrageous ?
