The rubber boot at the engine end is an integral part of the cable.  It
comes with it, not as a separate part.  Some one is trying to rip you off.

The cable complete with boot is $22.11 from Bus Depot with the
comparison dealer price given as $28.93.   Van-Cafe is just under $20,
and has the same picture including the boot.

So tell this to the dealer and see if they give you a better price or
order from one of these or another list vendor and wait a couple of days.

It is really easy to install, so I'd get a new one.   When I was looking
for some cable connectors to try and fix mine a while back, they were
hard to find in Home Depot and Lowe's because they didn't have much
shelf space, but there were things there.
