advanced auto changed plug price while updating cart and I found a way to screw them
So I was trying to buy oem plugs and they were 12.xx each and the LFR6AIX-11 were 7.xx each so I added 16 of the exact oem ones for 12 each and after I updated the cart the price went to 13 and the 11s went to 9 each.

I was soo pissed and cancled the order and started looking elsewhere for plugs.

amazon has 2 oem plugs for 10 each but I need 16.ebay has no oem plugs and the dealer wants 18 each.

So I started looking for online promo codes and found one for advanced auto for 30 off 75 or more with free shipping.

placed 2 orders of 8 plugs each and ended up getting 60 off there asking price even after the bumped the plugs up a buck on me lol.

Im about to kill them ordering oil haha

The OE plugs list for $10.79 for me. So with the BIG30 code, it's $56.32 for 8.

do not buy the LFR6AIX-11 those are NOT the ones MB puts in our cars,the LFR6AIX are the ones MB uses and they are the laser ngks.

it goes

iradium
iradium ix
iradium plantinum
iradium laser (best plug ngk makes)

I just placed 3 seperate orders and used BIG30 to get 30 off on each order and if you make the total over 75 you get free shipping.

I did 8 plus,then 3 plugs and k&n filter and the 2 plugs and a socket ect... and made every order over 75 to get the free shipping on all 3 orders.

so in the end I got to save about 90 bucks....not bad huh lol

Haha! Funnny but very useful thread. However, it's posts like these that make me buy stuff I don't currently need. I still have 22 quarts of 0w40 taking up cupboard space from the old Napa Auto Parts sale.
