Considering I have to replace my filter about every 6 months in my daily driver, a reusable cabin filter would save a good chunk of change. One-time use filters cost $18-35 depending on the filter. After 1-2 years it's more than paid for itself.
You're way overpaying check ebay and amazon.

I've purchased $5-10 filters before, and all I'll say is you get what you pay for. I can get a better deal on the quality ones if I purchase in bulk. But I don't bother. And sometimes that extra cost is simply the cost of convenience.

Also, I'll never give money to Amazon again if I can help it.
Rusty and ZoomZ like this.

What was your negative experience with the $5-$10 filters? I change them yearly regardless of mileage which is typically low and don't see an issue.
