Where can I buy the following spark plugs for a 1999 v6 Camry automatic cheap?:

Denso Platinum PK20TR11

Dealership wants $9 per plug, but I feel like they can be found for cheaper?

I bought the same plugs at Autozone for $6-7 each. I don't remember the exact price for them but it was around there.

I bought my wire set from http://www.sparkplugs.com for $about $35, but I have the 2.2l, so yours may be a bit more.

The dealership technician told me the Denso Platinum PK20TR11 lasted longer than the NGK ones and were what they use on all their cars per toyota spec.

I have a set of IK20's that I will part with for $50 shipped to you.
I bought them to install on my 2000 XLE and recently found out I will need IK22's to go with my s/c.
Let me know.

If your camry uses waste spark ignition, you should stick to twin ground platinum. Waste spark ignitions fire twice as often and a Denso IK series plug will have a short lifespan of 7,500~10,000km. Single ground plugs are also not suitable because the ground electrode will not have sufficient time to cool, risking the chance of pre-ignition. Twin grounds are also better at preventing carbon buildup on the insulator and give better flame propogation bcos the ground electrode is not blocking. Also bcos the polarity of ignition coil (2 plugs fire at once), one plug fires from center electrode to ground electrode while the other plug fires from ground electrode to center. Denso IK and most single ground plugs are not designed for ground to center firing, this will cause the ground electrode to erode prematurely.

I bought the dealer spark plugs for $60 after tax just because I was in the area and didn't want to make another trip. Where the heck are the rear 3 spark plugs located? I took the plastic cover off and didn't see them.

Can someone please post a picture or link me to one to help me install the rear 3 spark plugs? Or if anyone has an online copy of the service manual and could help me I would REALLY appreciate it

why not pick it from JavaJoe_2?

usually, they run from $7-12/plug.
Not many places carry it for a cheap price. Try autozone, advance auto parts or pepboys. Do not think online places will be cheap cos of shipping.

U can also try www.ebay.com.

there under the intake. look under that (guessing you have the later 6coil pack) and you see the little distro on top. either take the intake off, or get a few short extensions.
