Fram 11259

I changed it last year but don't remember it being this expensive.

WTF?

Plenty of places have it for less, but then you might pay shipping. Even on Ebay they have it. Now if you are referring to the CA11259 (cabin air filter) those are more costly.

Pssst....the CA11259 is the air filter for the vehicle; it's not a cabin air filter. That part number (Fram) is CF11811 for the OP's vehicle.

$12 on Rock Auto.

And you're still spending at least $20 on it after shipping and get the privilege of waiting a week for it to arrive. Personally, I'd rather buy it and have it in hand today for $3 or so extra.

That's why you order with wiper blades and oil filters. Everyone knows this.

Regardless, it's $16.33 shipped to me ordering it alone.

Air filter has to be close to the bottom of maintenance costs for cars. Just above the bulbs that light up the license plate. No way I'd sweat $23.
