The plugs are $6.95 at rockauto.com. The dealer here charges $260 parts AND labor for a 3v plug change! This includes 1 or 2 free extractions.

Most dealers are capitalizing on this Ford problem by additionally bending over the customer, who is the reason why they are in business to begin with!
Humans suck!.........

They raped you on the plugs! My dealer charged me $10 per plug, $80. Could that have included boots?

i have no idea i didnt look at the bill, but i dont think they raped me that bad because the autolites at another local store were 18 bucks so i thought might as well spend the extra couple bucks and get the motorcraft ones, ill check the bill after work

I know my local dealer is like that. They wanted $15 for the regular 2v plugs for my truck rock auto sells them for under $4. $30 is outrages. Labor seems a bit steep as well but as long as your happy with the results guess that all that maters.
