What a huge difference!

[Guest snappy]

My spark plugs are due for change, so I called up our forum sponsor for the price. I was told each spark plug is $20 plus, 4 is less than $150.

Decided to seek a second opinion, googled for mercedes stockist and called up one of them. 4 pcs at $28. :shocked:

Confirm same brand. I even did specifically asked for "Bosch original spark plugs for W203, 05 C200".

Have collected my plugs, the stockist is http://www.gallopauto.com/ .

AS for the forum sponsor, not so nice to reveal. It's quite active here with many guys patronising for servicing...

i think it is important for members to understand that forum sponsors are paying to advertise their services and goods. Whether their service is top notch, desirable or cheap is caveat emptor.

Dun be confused that as forum sponsors, they are "best of breeds".

As Uncle pointed out, as consumers, "... it pays to do some home work!!!! "

Sounds like advertising cost too high or chop carrot head?

Maybe higher price is inclusive of labour - i.e. fix them in for you ... :becky:
