Mazda OEM Price increase from October 1, 2008

[RHDJapan]

hello everybody, this is just a heads up that Mazda OEM parts have increased in price effective immediately. This is due to the increased cost of raw materials, especially aluminum and steel. Plastics (i.e. interior door handles, tail lights, spoilers) have increased about 5%, Steel (rotors, eccentric shafts, intermediate housings) have increased about 10%, Aluminum (housings) have increased about 14%. The biggest increase that we have seen is 19% with the 99+ turbines and not all items have increase in price. We will be adjusting our prices immediately however we will continue to do out best to keep the prices down and will therefore not be increasing the price as much as the actual price has increased. Thank you for your understanding!
