you pay for service as cosmo said - your also having a go at people because we have an opinion... that differs to yours.... are we not entitled to speak?

I reckon genuine spareparts are different(lower) quality than the ones that were originally installed on cars. They are made cheaply and the Quality control is not great!! for example...window trims, etc

Not bothering to read any replies, but how about we line up? @#$%head!
Do you think we, the employees of mazda set the fkn prices? Call Mazda in Japan, tell them your gonna fight them coz your a hero and by punching everyone that works at Mazda and working your way through our suppliers.....FORD, then you may get somewhere? Also for the record, next time you need a part, call Ford get the price off them....same part, same part #, same car - diff badge...9 times outta 10....50 - 100% mark up on our (mazda) price for the same part! In summary Super Cheap Autos probably easier for you to get to. So who else cried and jumped the counter and punched the Maccas worker when a Big Mac meal went up 20c????

calm down dave, it's all good bro. he has just having a rant and since then, we've all decided that it's not the staff members fault. it is whom ever sets the prices.

Those cubby trays that go in place of a 1/2 Din slot are liek $10 from Mazda, clowns on eBay sell them for $20! WTF???
I was able to buy parts from Mazda for my 1979 626 off the shelf or out of main warehouse in 1993/1994 and I remember in 1993/4 we bought an entire set of door and window seals for my Sisters RX5. Some had to come in from Japan, but I think the entire car set cost about $800 which in my opinion is pretty good and the RX5 has big complicated rubber seals. A.

Mazda like any other car companies make more than 50% profit on part prices. Have u ever seen dealer prices,Trade prices and retail prices for parts? well, basically, retail price = dealer price * 2
car manufacturers are dirty suckers.... |
