    Must be a dealership issue.
    My dealership is showing the same plug for $15 each.

    I would return them and get the same Denso plug from Rockauto for $9 each or less depending on the exact part number!

    Typical parts department markup from the joker working the counter on a Saturday.
    He hit the mark up hard.

    Yeah, there are a few remaining older dealer parts department jockeys who never got the memo that they're no longer the only game in town.

    During my term working at a D(St)ealership the customer facing counter got what the Parts MGR called the "Crush, Kill, destroy" Discount, When asked. It was a common running joke to see who could "screw" the hardest.

    Try ordering your Toyota parts via their online store and then pick them up at your dealership.

    You can save A LOT of money this way. It's crazy the price differences.

    But you can get Denso OEM plugs from your local auto parts store. That's what I did.

    Also, you're going to need 2 more spark plugs. lol

    Why would you EVER buy parts from a dealer?

    No he paid 2 to 2 1/2 times more at the dealer than if he had bought them elsewhere or online, iridium plugs can be bought for under $9 each at Rockauto, around $13 at a local auto parts store, this is for the same Denso plugs he got from a Toyota dealer.

    When you started this topic I thought you were complaining for over paying for the plugs, you should of just told us you were just doing your part in keeping that dealer from going out of business!!:woot:

    70 bucks at autozone, about the same price to rent a torque wrench from them to properly torque down your spark plugs!!
