Question Best place to order accessories in Canada?

Is there anywhere in Canada that has better prices than local dealershpis on the factory mazda accessories?

I know there are a few in the states like trussville mazda and such but the shipping and duty charges to bring them into Canada would probably make the price work out to be pretty close to what a dealer here wants for them.

I'm having a hard time agreeing to pay $400 for strakes and $714 for the front air dam. If anyone knows a cheaper place to get this stuff I'd love to hear about it.

You have to mix and match - compare the Canadian MSRP of the accessories to the prices from Trussville and www.finishlineperformance.com . Some are cheaper here, some are cheaper from there! Also - consider joining your local Miata club ( www.wildrosemiata.com ). Club members get a parts and labour discount at the Mazda dealers - I got 10% or 15% off accessories in Calgary this way.

I ended up buying the strakes from Finishline Performance - $400 Cdn is ridiculous, compared to $198 US. I also bought a few other things, like touch-up paint and a car cover for my Miata, from them to spread the shipping/brokerage across more items. Even with brokerage, however, it's cheaper to buy some stuff from them.

Regards,
Gordon

I don't remember who compiled it, but somewhere in the history on here is a list of Canadian Delerships that will offer deals to RX-8 club members along with the contact info.. it also had my own little addition, which was the dealers cost list for all the factory accessories.

There is a dealership here in Nova Scotia that offers dealer cost + 10%, for example.

Score! I scrolled back a page or two and found the thread.
On page two is a listing of 2 dealerships in Canada that offer cost +10%, and there is also a link to the option listing.

On second thought, somebody should probably sticky that thread up at the top, or else this conversation will be started every couple weeks.

DISCOUNT MAZDA PARTS!

Hi Guys! Here is one of my previous postings regarding pricing.


Hello everyone! I have been talking to a couple of dealers about getting accessories at a discounted price. I am posting the results of my findings below. These parts will be ordered from Mazda Canada through the dealer and at the time of ordering your charge card number will be used to pay for the items. There will be no returns of product to the dealer as he will inspect everything very closely for no damage before they are shipped to your address. You must add shipping and taxes to the prices below.

1. Mills Mazda, Truro, Nova Scotia Phone# 902-897-3400
Contact is Brad Mills and the price is cost plus 10%.

Sample Pricing:

Air Dam, Front Titanium Grey List $713.25 Sell $573.64
Moonroof Wind Deflector List $76.65 Sell $61.64
Rotary Crest Front List $111.29 Sell $84.07
Rotary Crest Rear List $129.75 Sell $100.63
*PLUS* shipping & taxes

2. Edwards Mazda, Pembroke, Ontario Phone# 1-800-265-1753
Contact is Jack in parts and the price is cost plus 10%.

Sample Pricing:

Exhaust Finishers List $385.69 Sell $310.16
Front Air Dam List $713.25 Sell $573.64
Front Mask w/dam List $179.99 Sell $144.15
Rear Spoiler List $550.99 Sell $443.10
Front Rotary Crest List $111.99 Sell $84.06
Rear Rotary Crest List $129.75 Sell $100.62
Scuff Plates for sills List $369.95 Sell $300.27
Air Outlet Garnishs List $389.99 Sell $320.64
*PLUS* shipping & taxes

I hope this will help everyone that wants some accessories for their new car. All items listed in the brochure are available for purchase. These are just some of the more popular items that I had priced out!

While I mostly import parts that are only available in Japan, some of the parts that are sold here are overpriced.
For some examples: ( your dealer discounted price on top, mine below it):

Exhaust Finishers List $385.69 Sell $310.16
CanZoomer price: $205

Scuff Plates for sills List $369.95 Sell $300.27
CanZoomer price: $285

Air Outlet Garnishs List $389.99 Sell $320.64
CanZoomer price: $289
