Can't really justify the cost of the doors. Most manufacturers make their money on spare parts after the aircraft sale, don't they? It costs thousands and thousands for the manufacturer to certify the parts for their aircraft, but they more than make up for it in volume. My opinion, but this is definately one area where they gouch the consumer. It's not like you can buy parts from another source.
