new kitchen cupboard doors

I want to replace the doors on my existing MFI kitchen.

I called MFI the other day and the doors are so expensive, it seems they cost practically the same as buying them with the carcase.

Do you think that this is just to make the customer buy the whole kitchen from MFI. Have I got scope to haggle with MFI. Definitely can't afford to buy at the current price and don't need to replace the units just the doors.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
now mum of 4!!!

    These places have cottened on to the fact that people are looking for a cheaper option than replacing the whole kitchen and are charging a relativly high price for the door in order to temp into going the whole hog!
    Fortunately doors tend to be a standard size and there are other places to get them at a more reasonable price .

    I have just re doored my kitchen with solid oak doors from ebay at a price you would not believe..the only downside was the hinges did not match any of the carcass holes but that was over come by a template I made to re drill them .
