I did a little searching, but didn't find much except that OEM wires and Denso plugs would run abou $90.

I have a mechanic friend of mine who said he change plugs and wires for $200 since the back three plugs are hard to get to (I'm sure everyone here knows that already).

Anyway, is $200 a good price? Or should it be less?

I have no experience with pricing on sparks/plugs, so I'd appreciate your help!

Thanks, everyone.

Does the $200 include spark plugs and wires, or just the labor charge? Either way, I personally wouldn't pay that much. I purchased Denso plugs for $80 total, and got my mechanic friend to install them for free.

Yeap, $200 for plugs, wires, and labor.

I did my 98 for about $90 total. Denso Iridium plugs with OEM Lexus/Toyota wires. Took about 25 minutes and about 3 "wonder" drinks.

Ebay NGK Iridium plugs for $42 shipped.
Ohmed the wires and its still within factory specs.
Front 3, easy as can be.
Rear left, easy.
Next two. what a pain in the rear.
But it was worth $158 to change the last two myself.
All you need is a set of extensions for the socket, move a few hoses out of the way.
Also some patience would help

Are Denso Iridium plugs different from Denso Platinum plugs?

My mechanic said that the Platinum plugs cost more, but are better quality? I have no idea.

I'm trying to price everything out so I know what I'm talking about when I call him.

Thanks, everyone.

Iridiums cost more than platinums. They are supposed to burn the fuel more effficiently.
