Title: where to buy ngk cr9ek
Post by: sloow on July 12, 2005, 08:36:02 PM

Just went into the store here in Montreal to buy some plugs for my 02 B6,
Is $17.00 the going rate for each plug? Anywhere I can find a better deal?

Thanks

What kind of store? Have you tried discount auto parts stores? Canadian Tire? Might have to order them in, but any online source will be that way too - and I don't know if there are any CDN online stores. I'm guessing duties & fees might kill any savings a US source may offer.

I went into Alex Berthiaume.. A dealer for Honda/Yamaha... They seem to have as good a price as any for other stuff. Yes On line US parts seem to offer the plugs for $8.50 a piece, but with shipping, exchange and duty, it ends up being pretty close to the same thing.

I don't know of any canadian on line parts dealers.

I know that's usually the cheapest way to get them around here.
(Except we don't have Canadian Tire - unless I go to BC)

I am not the technical wizard of the site and someone may jump all over this but I've been told by several people that you can run the cr?e in place of the cr?ek.  The difference is single prong versus double with the "k" and the singles are a lot cheaper.  I've been running cr8e's in my B4 (which calls for cr8ek) for over a year now and notice no difference.

My local Canadian Tire store does not stock any B-12 plug. They will special order them in for you at the same price as my stealer.

You may want to try club plug (Based in Montreal)

I just purchased 8 Iridium IX (DR9EIX) for 75 bucks (Included shipping). Standard plugs were a song from these guys.

It took them about a 2 weeks to get them to Alberta.

I found these plugs on ebay also.  Got a pack of 5 for $20.
