I ordered mine from www.mazdastuff.com for $76.00 plus $5.00 S/H... my dealer wanted over $100 for the module. Should be here next week.

Here's a recap of my conversation with the parts guy at the dealership...

"I would like to order a Mazda part"
"What car do you have?"
"I have a Protege5, but I also have the part number."
"What is it?"
"GE6V-66-128"
"OK, one minute"
"OK"
"That part is not for a Protege"
"I know, I still want to order it"
"But it's not for your car"
"I know, I still want it"
"We can't order it if it's not for your car"
"But it doesn't matter what car it's for, I still want it"
"But it doesn't go in the car you have"
"Oohh... you wanted to know what car I am putting this in... my GFs MPV"
"Oh, OK then we can order it"

the I heard the price and decided to drop a line to the folks at MazdaStuff. A much better deal and I did not have the explain why I wanted the part :)

Jim, Could you get one for me too. For those guys that are wondering this is a good deal, I just called a local dealer and they wanted $118.40 + Tax! I'll send you an email as well.

Thanks!

Hey brother,

It sounds like JJB's plan is best for you. I can't get it for you any cheaper. Give Mazdastuff a try first. If that doesn't pan out, let me know.

Jim

Ordering from MazdaStuff never crossed my mind, thanks for sharing, I just sent them an email, we will see what happens.

That conversion with your parts department is some funny/all too true/sad stuff, sounds all too familiar.

I LIED!
 
Ah crap... I just checked my e-mail and I did not get the part for $76, it "costs $79, plus $5 shipping by UPS ground".

Sorry for the bad info.

Still not a butt rape. Now $118 is a true butt rape, period.

It's the truth!!! Come on, $118 for a damn wiper stalk. Mazda dealers who charge this much should be ashamed of themselves. :p

If you happen to pay this price, at least ask for a reach around.

Amen... I couldn't believe it when the guy told me the price on the phone. How they can charge $118, when someone elses dealer said list was $108 is beyond me. I'll be checking out MazdaStuff.com first for all my parts needs from here on out.

They do seem fair on price. Hope all goes well! :)

Take care,

Now mazdastuff is going to run out of stock and raise the price

LinuxRacr November-21st-2002 10:24 AM

Good info. Another great mod I HIGHLY recoommend is the PIAA Super Silicone Wipers. They are costly, but there's nothing like driving through a downpour, and not having to turn your wiper on at all!! Every wipe of the blade is like a new coat of Rain X. I have had them since about Apil, and love them!!! You can get them from Nopi I have the Carbon Fiber Blades (Not real Carbon Fiber!).

mopho November-21st-2002 11:19 AM

I just ordered mine from Mazdastuff.com, I ended up calling them, that is the nicest parts department I have ever dealt with. They are out of stock and have to order them, so you may want to to call today and get in with that order.
