Scotty Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Mine was just over $500 from the dealer, without changing cabin air filter, engine air filter, and engine oil. You do have $100 in spark plugs since the iridium ones are $25 a piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTGT Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I got one step colder plugs (Iridium) for $39. $25 per plug???? Does that come with a Nology Coil pack as well? I remember reading this somewhere but what exactly do the one step colder spark plugs do? Also for the 60k service could you supply your own lubes and parts for them to use , and knock the price down a little? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highlander Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 So what does the car need at 60k? Oil Change - $80 Tranny/Rear end oil - $120 Plugs?? (when the world is running 100k on plugs) Coolant flush/fill - $75 Lube chassis, clutch, etc. - $50 Looks like a professional rape to me!

highlander Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 $80 for oil IS my specification (e.g. RP or something other than Stealership Stock). Also, you gotta figure when they include it in the Scheduled Service Package the oil change is probably an hour labor rate.
