Luckily these cars already use the cheapest plugs they sell, so I doubt anyone's trying to elbow theyre way into a $3/plug market.

Look at RockAuto.com. And then choose the Fedex shipping, comes Duty and GST prepaid, so when you click to finalize the order that's the final cost to your door. The NGK's are the ones recommended by Jaguar (BR7EF for a V12) are $2.12 Canadian each. Occasionally I have got them on "wholesale clearout" for 90 cents each.

I buy a lot of parts from Rockauto, the Canadian parts stores can't compete. Thermostats and belts were 10 times the price at the local parts store for example.
