Price on 1 Spark Plug??
Help! I'm in a dilemma! I don't know if I'm geting ripped off or not.
Today I bought spark plugs from Pep-Boys. They are the same stock spark plugs that the SVX comes with. They were $20 each! Is that average? I'm freaking cuz I see them on Subaruparts.com for like $10 each! Are these the same exact spark plugs? (list price: $12) They both have the same part numbers. How much does the dealership charge per spark plug? I really need some help, anything would be greatly appreciated. Thank-you! -SVXJoe

I purchased the stock NGK laser platinum plugs. As I recall they were around $10-$12 bucks a piece. I bought them at Napa.

Deakership Price
Well.....I took back the Spark Plugs I got from Pep Boys @ $20 each....and I've just dropped my car off at Subaru for a tune-up. The plugs there list at about $13....but Kaye in the service department of Subaru of Jacksonville matched the price of Subaruparts.com @ $9.53/ plug.
Oh yeah...tune-up...and other "problems to-be" they found has made my grand total $1,250!  Well....I hope I don't have any major problems for the rest of my 3 1/2 years of college. -SVXJoe

Get Copper plugs!
They last shorter, but offer better performance than Platinum plugs. I use NGK Coppers on my Legacy which are under 2 bucks ea. from NAPA.

I use the autolite 3922(1 heat range colder for N2O use) at $1.09 apiece. I change them often, but I got it down to where I can do it in around 45 minutes.
