I think there's a slight bias in the approach with this comment here... Toyota is not going to add an option to the system for someone to delete the air-con. They want to mass buy stuff to keep costs down but you're asking them to add cost so you can save cost. And that's just
you - how many buyers (not potential but REAL buyers) will actually exercise this option? And will that offset the savings they net from the mass buy of the parts?
Answer is probably - its worth it to piss off the one or two people who want to delete stuff. They can do it themselves for x dollars while we potentially save y (much bigger amount dollars).
