Genuine Parts pricing

While travelling in WA I had an a/c pipe let go on my 150. A large dealer quoted me Toyota retail list plus 42%!
I have spent a large part of my life in spare parts as has my wife. Called my local dealer in Vic to ascertain the real price.
Be careful out there!

42% is a bit rich! Up to 30% wouldnt be too far away. WA seems to be renowned for things (car parts) being more expensive...

My mates wife worked for Toyota parts for a fair while. She said they had a few different pricing. Cost price, trade price, nice customer price, know it all asshole price. Luckily we were good friends so I got cost price. Now she not there my filters and oil have sky rocketed in price, luckily it's the last oil n filter change before I sell the Prado. A difference of $30 just for oil and filter... Cheers
