Spark Plug Story

[MercuryT]

Ok guys and girls.
Apparently my R36 has the most expensive stock plugs ever. Used in Porsches so I guess explains it.

70 or so each so $420 before replacement. That's obscenely expensive imo.

So I found NGKs EBay that match exactly the same model much cheaper.

EBay $22 - identical part.

Supercheap had the NGKs for $40 then spent 20mins discussing the cost and were absolutely fantastic. Matched the price when knew not competitive, I said I'd prefer to support local so paid upfront and awaiting delivery.

Repco found identical part and charging near 60 for the same NGK. I mentioned online so much cheaper "buy from them then, don't get upset if you need support". Yeah ok mate.

Supercheap - A+ Service and price
Repco - D- Service and price

Repco never ever again. Plus it was dead inside yet Supercheap busy as.......I wonder why!

I hate criticising companies but I hope my experience helps others in their search for fair part prices, we too often get ripped.
