Thanks Oranger! Honda looks mighty expensive. A more expensive car like the Verna has cheaper parts! Quote:

You have also not compared the Honda city i-dtec. But going by the price of the spares for the city petrol, I am pretty sure that the spares of its diesel sibling will only be dearer.
Thiis comparison done by you only further strengthens my belief in maruti Suzuki as far as spares are concerned. But mind you, the cost of labour at maruti is now dearer than toyota.
Toyota etios I feel is the cheapest mid size sedan to maintain. |
This survey was done before the Honda City diesel was launched. We can add it if some one provides the details.
Etios doesnt belong in the mid size segment rather belongs to the entry level segment. Would be putting in the details of that segment soon. If you think Etios is Cheap, you would really be surprised!!! Quote:

Thank You. The 1.4 Linea mentioned here is the NA one but yeah the prices for the accidental parts of tjet should be the same (except the rims, ofcourse) Quote:

After experiencing Ford, I feel their parts maybe cheap today but don't hold up as long as the Japanese stuff. |
Why do you think Hondas part quality is remarkably higher than other cars? And why Ford is the other way round? Quote:

Wait, price difference between Sunny & Scala? That's something irrational.
Except Ford & Honda, others are at par. Nice initiative and I wish a similar comparison for other segments too. Especially B segment. |
Yeah the Petrol seems comparable the diesel not so. Will put up the B segment as well in due time. Quote:

The base variant is taken for the parts survey. So its steel rims for all cars. Yeah you are right, the 1.4 petrol is the NA one. Quote:

Not sure on that front bro! Quote:

A small request from my side, is it possible to upload the excel as attachment? I will try and get the latest prices at least for Linea. A small contribution from my side. |
That will be great. Infact I wanted to attach it in the first post but forgot . Infact, if every one can religiously update based on the cars we have, we should be able to have for each car and each variant and a bigger list of spare parts as well. Spare Parts - Mid Size Sedans.xlsx Quote:

But, I want to raise an important point here. The service centers do not seem to follow this pricing AT ALL. At least the Honda ones. I got charged Rs.1700 for wheel rims when here its listed for Rs.1251. Add to that a labor cost of Rs.1200 and taxes. So wanted to know how relevant is the comparison when the service centers price spare parts as per their own whims and fantasies? |
THis data is from before August 2013. So there could be some discrepancies. Quote:

My friend bought a Ford Fiesta 1.6P in the same week as we got our Aveo & his costs have been at least 60% higher than mine in the same period, not to mention worse fuel economy. |
Sorry dont have the data for the Aveo. If you can help out, we can add it as well. Quote:

Can you also provide the link to the source or is it a scan from a print copy? |
Source is Spare parts Price Survey August 2013 as mentioned in the post. Quote:

Thanks! Yeah if you have details for the sx4 we can add them in. |
