According to the dealer the flywheel itself costs $1000

i only have 108k miles and mine leaked so replaced some already. ( I don’t remember exactly but I was at 85-90k miles when that happened ) it was cheaper than getting a Gordon Murray T50, the natural successor to the excellent 3G TL, so I settled for the shocks replacement.

Why do you think they're called stealerships?

Think so? So did I until I replaced them. The thing is, they wear out so slowly and gradually you barely notice the difference. Once I replaced my strut assemblies, WOW what difference! If you have that much mileage, replace them! Mine were bone dry too.
