Toyota Parts Prices Are Crazy ?!?!

[Jimlad]

Today I just paid about £90 for a dizzycap, rotor arm, 7 bolts and a small plastic cover bit for underneath the car.

I also ordered two new wiper arms... they are about £45 ish each !! Bluddy hell !!

Toyota must make a mint from parts !

Toyota might make a mint from the parts but the dealers dont make that much!

When I was a Parts manager our average discount from Toyota on most parts was 26%

If its ordered for next day then 15%

Service parts etc do get a bit more at around 40% but we used to give 25% discount to trade!

Most Import parts (non-inventory) were 15%

Our net return was about 12%

You might come in handy in the future... :D

should have got in on a GP for a copper contact dizzy cap from the USA ..

I paid £50 for a Toyota cap and rotor - and the cap was modded with the copper contacts ..

The guy made a few quid each and ordered about 20 .. and I saved about 40 quid it seems ..
