Definitely can't compare BMW/Mercedes parts prices to Lexus luxury. My best mate works in a Merc/BMW independent workshop and his boss is absolutely loaded. The RRP and Trade Price are worlds apart.

Yep definitely, I'm talking like Mercedes brake pads RRP $800-$1200. Trade price from $140-$250. Then you charge your $100 - $250 dollars an hour labor depending on independent or dealership too

You think lexus parts are cheap? My IS headlight was $3.5k no globe.. Wing mirror glass $800

Having said that no car parts are cheap but anything higher end price just escalated as less people work on them, supply parts and so on

Not like the old days where you work on your own car

Merc spare parts want $2400 for one shock absorber/spring for C63. Not fitted. Found one second hand for $800.... Bargain.

Gloria window electric motor: ~$500 from Nissan. Identical 350Z part, $250 from the US shipped.

Just so we're clear, that shit wasn't cool in 93, it wasn't retro cool in 02, and it's not ironically cool now

Sure mate... I'm sure their 6 platinum albums would disagree though. Becoz Euro trance/rave/24hr dance people.
