Thumbs down Annoyed

So I decided today to change my plugs. I haven't done them since I bought the car, and there's no real way to know if/when/who did them last. So I pulled a couple out, they didn't look too bad but I wanted to do them anyway. Put everything back together, drive over to Advance Auto Parts and ask for 6 NGK plugs for a B5 A4 yada yada yada...

They wanted $12 a piece for them and two days to order them!!! So I said F*ck you very much, drove home and ordered a set from ECS for $36 bucks. JERKS!

What plugs were you actually trying to buy? Most NGK's are like $2/plug

I was tryin to buy the OEM replacement plugs, part #BKUR6ET-10. I thought that was way over priced I've never heard of $12 spark plugs in my life

he has a 2.8
a $12 plug is either plat or iridium. If you got 6 plat/iridium plugs for $36 then thats a good deal.
