Last time i went to get one for my 1G it cost me $12
today my dad told me he went to get one for the hilux (22R) and they quoted him $35 for the thermostat and rubber seal aound the thermo...is this right?
What fits into a 22R thermostat? stupid quesiton i know becuase they are locally delivered motors 
What would you guys pay?

can i ask why everyone always goes to places like repco and autobarne and stuff? unless thee are no amall private auto spare parts shops then i would understand but i always fnd them the most expensive!!!
i go to my local parts place (well there is 2, ones asian and the other is a leb) and they are piss cheap compared to the big places unless its something extremely!!! rare...
why dont you guys try your local parts place and not the big guys?
