When I was searching for an SVX crank pulley I got OEM quotes ranging from $140 to $195, which I think is an outrageous variance for a factory part from an authorized dealership. If Subaru gave a flip about parts and service customers, they'd institute some sort of reasonable and consistent pricing guidelines.

I agree with Noir: Find a good, independent mechanic to do what you aren't inclined to do yourself, and buy parts from dealerships only when necessary. My car is proof that you don't need an "SVX tech" (or all-OEM parts) to keep an SVX in reliable service, as so many seem to believe.

Good luck.
