Just wondering got a refund from my local toyota garage (waterloovile) of 163.80 for a set of big end shells as they were being tits and mucking me around (they had ordered the wrong ones TWICE, and had to wait ten days each time they ordered), so phoned up the toyota garage in Hedge End and they got them for me for 101.23 and within 3 days!! How can a dealer prices be so different???

we work by experiance, stuff like the local area, close competition etc. if the dealers in a good area, or has no close competition, they can sell at a larger retail price. As people have already/have no choice but to buy from said dealer.

There is a large book of all cars + parts trade prices updated regularly which is hard to find. it contains info on almost every car. with exact prices for individual years and options. for example i dont reckon any of you could guess the trade price of a 1995 uk supra, with £150 added for an auto?

I think he means parts dude. Which should have a RRP and be the same price from any toyota dealer.
