is it ok if use other oem spark plugs instead of the MB dealer one?
cuz it cost 39.93 a peice from the dealer.......
whats the difference?

yes. dealership = stealership

if you are stock, use these: http://needswings.com/NGK-Iridium-IX...kr6eix-11.aspx

i use the same ones, though colder ones because i'm not stock. that is where i ordered mine from as well.

they will work just the same. and if you have any questions email the owner of needswings at Rob@needswings.com or Sales@needswings.com

this guy is an idiot no way the dealer is charging him this much per plug.

i have no idea. that seems so high it is gross. maybe that includes cost of EACH sparkplug + installation costs (antiseize, all 2 cents of it lol)/labor.

w/e

heh lets not rack our brains over mr 1st post

haha. agreed.

The dealership cost formula is usually msrp times 2 and thats your msrp.

Theirs must have the gold and diamond encrusted MB logo.

Here's what you want:

On sale, too.

It's OT for this thread, but you know, I'd previously experienced the same thing until recently. Had the C32 in for some warranty work the other day, and decided to just let my dealership handle an A service while it was there (a little "spring freshening" after sitting most of the winter).

The extended service fleece filter? $18.75. Per quart cost of M1? $6.55. Labor was reasonable too... they did the whole oil change, various other fluid top offs, inspection, etc. and the total for everything (P&L) was right at $200. While I still plan on doing most of my own regular maintenance in the garage(difficulty dependent), I was pleasantly surprised.

I cant speak for all dealers, but the dealers bump price is usually 10-15% over MSRP that goes for about all dealers in my area. Maintenance items do not get marked up here either in service.

maybe they gave me the wrong item pricing. but thx guys i just got this car from my brother. and there are a lot of things needs to be fix.......... also i don't really know how to fix it.....

How are those plugs?

looks like MSRP is only $24.50each for those things (003-159-97-03)
