Mazda $$$$ Shock Horror!!!
Mazda $$$$ Shock Horror!!!
I recently had the misfortune of needing to call a mazda dealer to find the price of 1 plastic centre cap for the honeycomb wheels. it is an understatement to say i was horrified and nearly suffered cardiac arrest when the gentleman on the other end informed me it would cost me $55 USD + tax.<P>does anyone know if this is correct and if so does anyone have one i can beg, borrow or steal?<P>thanks guys.

I don't know what the price is but come on man it's not like he quoted $600 or something like that? You must have a weak heart if something that is $50 almost gives you a heart attack.

Do you have a pic of what you need? Or does anyone? fifty bucks does sound a lil high.

Re: Mazda $$$$ Shock Horror!!!
What he needs is the little round plastic cap with the Mazda emblem that goes in the center of the rim. $55 for that is ridiculous! I mean, it's a piece of friggin plastic that serves no real function.<P>Muzdog: Did you lose yours or is it just that the metalic paint is worn off?<P>If it's the paint, you could just paint it yourself. If it's missing, you'd be better off at a junkyard.

Re: Mazda $$$$ Shock Horror!!!
yeah, best bet is to check out the junk yards. When i first got my mx, i was missing two of them, and i went to the local junk yard, and got three of them for i think $5 total, and that was 2 years ago

Re: Mazda $$$$ Shock Horror!!!
I think the parts department at Mazda is out to lunch. I needed an axle for my 92, and they wanted over $800.00 Cdn for it! I ended up buying an aftermarket one (with a lifetime warranty!) for just over a hundred bucks.

HOW did you get that rim looking so CLEAN! I have a set of those that are really nasty. I want to clean them up and put them on my car.
