I buy a lot of GM parts through my local Chevy dealer. I get very good
pricing from them. Even with that in mind, I'm often surprised at what the
retail price is for people that just walk up. You are correct to a point
though - dealers can charge whatever they really want to - or better stated,
they can discount as little or as much as they want to. Finding a dealer
that will cut you a deal is a worthwhile endeavor.
