I'm trying to locate a nearby common parts store ( 80226 ) that sells
Denso PK16R8 double platinum spark plugs, but can't.

PEP boys said Autozone sells them but they only had Iridium and one other,
not these.

Does anyone know who might stock these locally?

There are some Toyota dealers that sell parts online and offer some good
deals. Hachi likes Jaffarian's in Haverhill, MA (I know those guys and they
are honest) and someone else has mentioned another dealer whose name escapes
me.

There's also Champion Toyota in Houston (Dallas???)

They have good prices, and if Sarah is FROM Houston, they're a skip away.

These plugs are HARD TO FIND from parts stores! Try an independant parts
store and see if they have them, of if they can get them.

AutoZone doesn't carry these plugs, and maybe can't get them. CarQuest can
probably get them OK.

Sarah, you might do a cost study comparing standard non-coated plugs,
platinum, double platinum and iridium plugs. Consider the average
life of each and the cost over the life of the car (use 150,000
miles). You might find some surprises. The last time I did this, I
found that standard non-coated plugs were far and away the winner
costing less than half of what the cheapest of the coated plugs cost.
I admit that I haven't done this comparison in years so it might not
be true anymore.
