I think cars are already like that Nog - buying all the bits for a car
results in a total which is something like 10 or 20 times the cost of the
car bought as a whole IIRC

Eg new cigarette lighter socket for my Toyota cost $170, though that did
include installation - new socket complete with lighter was only $98 or so

David - who did not get that lighter socket replaced
