Who wants inexpensive OEM parts?
ATTENTION:
I have come across a Mazda Dealership in CA selling genuine Mazda parts at a good discount. This guy is informative and great to work with. His parts pricing is 20% over cost. Very cheap. Compare to Mazdatrix!
Shifter bushing kits less than $4.00
Pulsation Damper $94 vs Mazdatrix $124 !!!
Manifold gasket for my GSL-SE $3.00
Give this guy some business, he is doing us a service.
The name of the dealership is Almaden Mazda,
here is the contact:
Ralph Hatley email ralphh@dgdg.com
He also quotes great prices on Mazda rebuilt engines.
I hope this helps some people,

This is all true....
I discovered Ralph late last year buying a factory shop manual. I thought I had a great thing going with my local Mazda dealership parts counter. But even with the extra shipping load, buying from Ralph is less expensive.
And, lets face it, factory parts are wayyyyyyy expensive. But sometimes you just have no choice.

I wonder if they're cheaper than Roebuck Mazda. I used to get FD parts from them fairly cheap, but they have since either changed their name or went under - their website is no longer working. Their prices were usually 25-30% cheaper than the local dealers in CA.

Another OEM source
Try http://www.mazdaformance.com
They have a good web site and good prices. I don't know how they compare to the first one listed.

Ralph is the parts guy at Almaden Mazda in CA. He can find the parts numbers for you or if you have them, fine.
He can help with some advice too, but he is in the business of selling parts, not free tech advice.
I asked him if I could post his name and email addy on this forum, and I warned him he might have a lot of people asking questions. His response......"that's fine, some poor sob had to answer all of my rotary questions back in 1982"
He is a very nice guy.
