Very interessting: parts for my wife's 2006 Beetle are 1.61 times higher than for my 2006 Corvette.... :banghead:
The RockAuto.com parts catalog was mined to create a tool (found
at: http://www.rockauto.com/repairindex )for comparing the cost of
parts for two vehicles. It is another objective bit of data to use
when shopping for a used car. There are also fun surprises like
when parts for an "economy" car like the Chevy Metro cost more
than a parts for a performance or luxury car.
I thought you guys might find it interesting! Check it out!
I used to think foreign car parts were higher because of low manufacturing volume. But not any more.... just bought a starter for a Mitsubishi 4 cyl diesel engine, maybe a gazillion of those truck engines all over the world, the stupid thing cost $600 bucks! And the pinnion gear is bad in the new one!
