Stock Intake Price

When I bought my 2007 Chevy Cobalt SS Supercharged it already had an Injen cold air intake installed. My dad (worried about hydrolocking my engine cuz hes paranoid) made em get the dealer to install the stock intake for like $700. My question is: how much do you guys think I could sell the stock intake for so I can reinstall the Injen...?

Also, how would I sell it? Craigslist?

Stock intake for $700?

Dude next time give me $500 and I'll do it.

And you'll get at most $100, if you try really hard.

Yeah I figured. My dad is just so old school that he doesn't understand that I could've found it cheaper on the internet. Thanks anyway guys! Speedy replies.

Alright I have an add on question: Its been a little less than a month since I got the fore mentioned dealer-rip-off-switch-a-roo. Ever since I got it its been making this noise it never used to make. What are the chances that I go back to the dealership and accuse them of messing something up and force them to uninstall it and give me my money back?

How do you sleep at night knowing you paid $700 for a stock intake... I would have nightmares every single night. I'm sorry op, the stealership got the best of you.

Dealer quoted me 340 for a new one a few years back after my K&N "caused my check engine light to come on" I just laughed and said no thanks

Might as well just keep the stocker for later in the future (resale, warranty, etc). Its not worth the hassle of listing and selling, and gas if you gotta drive to someone to sell it.

As for getting them to re-install the Injen one, it wont happen. They will just diagnose and fix whatever they can with the stock parts/intake. Reimbursement perhaps, but they wont install another companies intake since they cant cover it.
