Title: Genuine Toyota Mats for a good price
Post by: ManInDandism on September 25, 2022, 12:55
Currently on Amazon UK (https://www.amazon.co.uk/TOYOTA-Genuine-Carpet-Floor-2002-Onwards/dp/B0855ZV17P/ref=sr_1_5?crid=3PFEMK6GLI06H&keywords=mr2+mats&qid=1664106514&quartzVehicle=111-11832&replacementKeywords=mats&sprefix=%2Caps%2C128&sr=8-5) for £26.99 + £2.99 postage if anyone is interested.

Reason for pointing out is lots of overpriced ones on eBay both new and used.  I've seen £45 new and £53 all in for a used set  ::)

Thanks for posting, that does seem like a good price for genuine mats and mine are looking very sad....

So, 5 sets left now!

Gone back up to 5 left now so just goes to show how they lie as I doubt they have had a delivery of 2 more sets on a sunday but all the people looking at them and some buying has made them put the price back up.

With amazon, it pays to buy straightaway when you see a good price as they seem to be the worst for changing prices dramatically.

You could watch the item and maybe it will go down again in the future when no one is buying for a while.

As @Ardent £43.98 now. I also noticed :

Year Fitment: 01 August 2002 - Present (MMC)

So my 2 was a June 2002 baby, was / is there a difference I wonder?

That's naughty! Just checked my Amazon history and I bought my mats on 4th August. So they were £26.99 since then at least.

As pointed out by @Topdownman, increased number of views has likely resulted in price 'adjustment', but at least some have benefited.

But yes, checked again, and back up at higher price now.

I ordered a set at the lower price too when I saw your link. A big red light must have started flashing somewhere once a few people had bought them at 50% off!

The facelift model was actually introduced in August 2002. But I doubt that affects floor mats.

I thought the facelift was introduced in Dec 2002 but what's 4 months between friends ;)  ;D

There's always a difference between an introduction date and the availability date. There could also be a difference between Toyota announcing it and introducing it.

The Techstream software I have differentiates between PFL and FL by date which is August 2002. Mine is September 2002, but I have to tell the software it's a PFL by using the pre-August date.

EDIT: In fact, the UK press release date was 6th September 2002.

You've got them already?!

Although saying that - I've just got a card through the post to say I've missed a parcel, thought it was something else!

Just bought them at £26.99 from that link. It looks like the price fluctuates a bit. Thanks for the heads up.

Great price on Amazon. If that offer dissappears the Genuine Toyota store on ebay is also worth tracking as occasionally they drop to mid 20s on there. They are about £34 on ebay atm. I think.

The price has dropped again Jase. @Ardent

Thanks, I picked a set up as well (£29.98)

The ones on my 2 PFL only have one fixing point on the drivers side.

Yeah the parcel at the post office was the floor mats. 😀

Still would have preferred it to have been my new caliper!

They're still at thehigher price of £43.98 on Amazon today, but in the meantime I found them at a similar price at Toyota Direct Parts just £24.29 + £5.99 shipping (£30.28 all in).
https://toyotadirectparts.co.uk/parts/toyota-mr2/toyota-mr2-mk3/mr2-mk-3-accessories/toyota-mr2-1999-2007-mr2-velour-mats-2-pcs/ (https://toyotadirectparts.co.uk/parts/toyota-mr2/toyota-mr2-mk3/mr2-mk-3-accessories/toyota-mr2-1999-2007-mr2-velour-mats-2-pcs/)
There are no pics, but the part number is the same as the set on Amazon and the site claims to be part of the main Toyota dealership in Swindon, so hopefully not much of a gamble!
I've ordered a set and will let you know if they're the right ones or not ;)

Just got a notice from ToyotaDirectParts that they're on 3 week backorder (available 19/10), but I'm fine to wait at this price!

I ordered some at the lower price off Amazon with a 4-5 day lead time, now pushed back until the end of October. 
I guess they just wanted to clear old stock and now need to source new stock, I wonder how "genuine Toyota" they'll be when they arrive?

My set arrived this morning too! They certainly look genuine to me, good quality and even came with the clips. Big improvement over the old set, shown side-by-side with the new one. A quick and cheap upgrade and still showing on offer at £24.29 on their site.  ;)
