Yeah,most of the time you will find you pay more for genuine parts.Ive had, and have seen, too many problems with cheaper aftermarket parts,so I just stick with genuine parts instead.Paying the extra is worth it to me if it saves me from a breakdown, or having a part fail at an inconvenient time,which I havent had happen yet,unlike other people I know who have had breakdowns etc caused from "so called" cheaper parts.They arent cheaper in the long run if they dont last long compared to a genuine part.Or if you have to pay for towing etc,but most people dont look at it like that,they just see a cheaper part and go for it not thinking about the long term.Crank angle sensors are a good example.I know people who have fitted 3 cheapie crank angle sensors to my one genuine one.I pay $120 for genuine,they pay $50 for aftermarket,Ive used 1 to their 3,Thats $150, versus my $120.Thats not including fitting either, if you cant do it yourself.
