Today I had my 2 anual APK test(like the mot) and everything was fine after 6 years and 47000km. I did have a service done replacing oil and all filters including the interieur filter and the sparkplugs. They also replaced the brake fluid and cleaned the rear drum brakes. The whole thing setting me back 457 euro's.
One thing really stood out to me and that was the price of the spark plugs wich where 30 euro's a piece! So 60 euro's for two freakin' sparkplugs...why the hell has a little 85bhp city car such expensive sparkplugs?! I really thought I've seen it all but this was a new one for me...
 
They’re expensive probably because they’re Iridium but they’ll last considerably longer and perform better so good value in the long run

That's probably true. I just never seen these prices for spark plugs. Also I find it interesting that the spark plugs in the high performanve Abarth 500 are cheaper. I would have expected it the other way around.
