If you own a Toyota Tazz in South Africa, you already know the good news: parts are cheap and easy to find. The Tazz wore the badge from 2000 to 2006 (it was the Conquest Tazz from 1996), and underneath it is essentially an E90/E100-generation Corolla — the same platform Toyota sold in enormous volumes here. That shared DNA is why a Tazz door, fender or gearbox costs a fraction of what the equivalent part costs on a modern model: donor cars are everywhere, and the Tazz parts catalogue on most SA strippers runs deep. I have pulled live used and aftermarket pricing from supplier partners, independent dismantlers and SA classifieds to build this 2026 price list for the 1.3 (4E-FE) and 1.6 (4A-FE) variants. These are real rand ranges — not dealer list prices, which no longer exist for a model discontinued in 2006.
Key Takeaways
| Topic | Key Finding | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Why Tazz parts are cheap | Shared E90/E100/E110 Corolla running gear | Massive donor supply keeps prices among the lowest of any SA model |
| Body panels | Doors R650-R1,800, fenders R250-R650, bonnets R450-R1,400 | The most-searched Tazz category — used panels dominate |
| Interior parts | Dashboards R450-R1,200, door panels R150-R400, seats R350-R900 | High demand for clean, un-cracked SA-climate trim |
| Engine & mechanical | Complete used 1.3/1.6 engine R6,500-R14,000 | 4E-FE and 4A-FE are simple, rebuildable and well-supported |
| Gearbox | Used 5-speed manual R1,500-R3,500 | Cheapest gearbox replacement in the entire Toyota range |
| Suspension & brakes | Brake pads ~R150, shocks R300-R650 each | Service parts are widely stocked aftermarket and used |
| 1.3 vs 1.6 | Most body/interior parts interchange | Engine and some drivetrain parts differ between 4E-FE and 4A-FE |
| Where to buy | Strippers, aftermarket, marketplaces | Each suits a different part type — covered below |
Why Toyota Tazz Parts Are So Cheap
Three things keep Tazz parts among the most affordable in South Africa:
- Shared platform. The Tazz is built on the E90/E100 Corolla architecture, with later running-gear ties to the E110 Corolla. A huge proportion of mechanical, suspension and even some interior parts interchange with Corollas of the same era — so a single donor Corolla can supply Tazz parts and vice versa.
- Enormous local volume. Toyota sold the Conquest/Tazz family in vast numbers as SA’s default entry-level car for nearly two decades. That means a deep, nationwide supply of donor vehicles in stripping yards.
- Simple, robust engineering. The 4E-FE 1.3 and 4A-FE 1.6 engines are mechanically straightforward, easy to recondition, and have no fragile electronics — so used units stay serviceable and cheap.
The practical upshot: for most repairs, a used or aftermarket Tazz part is so cheap that replacing rather than repairing is usually the smart call.

Good to Know: There Is No New OEM Tazz Price List
The Tazz was discontinued in 2006, so Toyota SA no longer carries a dealer price list for most Tazz-specific panels and trim. “New” here means quality aftermarket (TYC-style lights, pattern panels) where it exists. For everything else — dashboards, door cards, seats, body shells — used is the only practical option. That is normal for a 20-plus-year-old model and not a red flag.
Toyota Tazz Body Panel Prices
Body panels are the single most-searched Tazz category — doors, bonnets, bumpers and fenders top the list because rust, knocks and SA parking-lot dings make them the most-replaced items. Used panels dominate this market, and our Tazz body parts catalogue lists tested units from both supplier regions.
| Body Part | Used (ZAR) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Front door (each) | R650 - R1,800 | Most-replaced panel; price depends on rust and dent-free condition |
| Rear door (each) | R600 - R1,600 | Slightly cheaper than fronts; check window mechanism |
| Bonnet | R450 - R1,400 | Watch for rust along the leading edge in coastal cars |
| Boot lid / tailgate | R450 - R1,200 | Hatch glass and wiper usually sold separately |
| Front fender / wing (each) | R250 - R650 | Cheapest panel; quick bolt-on repair |
| Front bumper | R350 - R900 | Colour-coded later models priced higher |
| Rear bumper | R300 - R750 | Often cracked at the mounting tabs — inspect before buying |
| Grille | R150 - R450 | Cheap and easy; later twin-tip-era grilles differ slightly |
| Quarter panel | R350 - R900 | Usually cut from a donor; fitment is a body-shop job |
| Windscreen | R600 - R1,400 | Fitted price; check for chips and delamination |
Pro Tip: Match the Year Before You Buy a Bumper
The Tazz got colour-coded bumpers and a styling refresh around 1999-2000. An early grey-bumper Tazz and a late colour-coded one are not always a straight swap on the front end. When you request a quote, state your year and whether your car has body-coloured or grey bumpers so the yard pulls the right donor panel.
Toyota Tazz Interior Parts Prices
Clean interior trim is the second-biggest Tazz demand — SA’s sun cracks dashboards and fades door cards, so owners constantly hunt for tidy used replacements. Our Tazz interior parts section covers dashboards, door panels, seats and the full trim range.
| Interior Part | Used (ZAR) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Dashboard (complete) | R450 - R1,200 | Top sun-cracks most; un-cracked dashes command the top of the range |
| Door panel / card (each) | R150 - R400 | Check clips and pocket; common faded item |
| Front seat (each) | R350 - R900 | Driver’s seat usually more worn than passenger |
| Rear seat (bench) | R450 - R1,100 | Sold as a set; fabric condition drives price |
| Steering wheel | R200 - R600 | Airbag-equipped versions cost more |
| Instrument cluster / speedo | R350 - R900 | Verify mileage and warning-light function |
| Gear shifter / lever | R150 - R450 | Cheap; boot and knob often perish |
| Centre console | R150 - R400 | Frequently cracked — inspect mounting points |
| Headliner | R250 - R650 | Sags in heat; fitment is fiddly |
| Sun visor (each) | R80 - R250 | Cheap consumable, often missing or torn |
Toyota Tazz Engine and Mechanical Prices
The Tazz used two engines: the 1.3-litre 4E-FE (around 55 kW) and the 1.6-litre 4A-FE (around 79 kW). Both are simple, reliable and cheap to keep going. A complete used engine is one of the most cost-effective ways to put a tired Tazz back on the road.
| Engine / Mechanical Part | Used (ZAR) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Complete engine 1.3 (4E-FE) | R6,500 - R12,000 | Running, tested units; recon R12,000-R18,000 |
| Complete engine 1.6 (4A-FE) | R8,000 - R14,000 | Slightly dearer than the 1.3; recon R15,000-R22,000 |
| Cylinder head (bare) | R1,200 - R3,000 | Common rebuild item; check for cracks |
| Alternator | R450 - R1,100 | Aftermarket new R900-R2,200 |
| Starter motor | R450 - R1,100 | Reconditioned units widely available |
| Radiator | R450 - R1,200 | Aftermarket new R750-R1,800 |
| Water pump | R250 - R650 | Replace with the timing belt |
| Fuel pump | R350 - R900 | In-tank electric on injection models |
| Exhaust (cat-back) | R600 - R1,600 | Twin-tip later models priced higher |
Because the 4E-FE and 4A-FE share their family with the same-era Corolla and RunX, many engine ancillaries cross over — a useful fact when a specific Tazz part is out of stock but the Corolla equivalent is on the shelf.
Toyota Tazz Gearbox and Clutch Prices
The Tazz uses Toyota’s C-series 5-speed manual transaxle (early entry models had a 4-speed; the 5-speed arrived around 1999). A used Tazz gearbox is the cheapest gearbox replacement in the entire Toyota range — frequently under R3,500 fitted-ready.
| Transmission Part | Price (ZAR) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Used 5-speed manual gearbox | R1,500 - R3,500 | Tested units from SA strippers |
| Reconditioned 5-speed manual | R3,500 - R5,500 | 30-90 day warranty typical |
| Clutch kit (plate, cover, bearing) | R650 - R1,500 | Aftermarket; replace as a set |
| Flywheel | R350 - R900 | Resurface if scored |
| Gearbox mounting | R150 - R400 | Cheap; replace with any gearbox job |
For the full picture on pricing, warranty terms and what separates a tested unit from a shelf gamble, see our Toyota gearbox prices guide for 2026, which covers the Tazz alongside the rest of the range.
Toyota Tazz Suspension and Brake Prices
Service and wear items are the cheapest category of all — these are mostly aftermarket new, widely stocked, and shared across the Corolla family.
| Part | Used (ZAR) | Aftermarket New (ZAR) |
|---|---|---|
| Brake pads (front set) | R120 - R250 | R150 - R450 |
| Brake discs (each) | R200 - R450 | R350 - R750 |
| Brake drum (each) | R200 - R450 | R350 - R650 |
| Shock absorber (each) | R300 - R650 | R450 - R1,200 |
| Coil spring (each) | R150 - R400 | R350 - R700 |
| Control arm | R250 - R600 | R450 - R950 |
| Tie-rod end | R80 - R200 | R150 - R350 |
| Ball joint | R120 - R300 | R200 - R450 |
| Wheel bearing | R150 - R400 | R300 - R650 |
Watch Out: Pattern Brake Parts Vary in Quality
The cheapest aftermarket brake pads and discs for the Tazz can be very low quality — fine for a low-mileage runabout, risky for a daily commuter. For brakes specifically, it is worth paying for a recognised pattern brand rather than the absolute cheapest box. A R150 saving on pads is not worth a longer stopping distance.
Toyota Tazz Lights and Mirrors Prices
| Part | Used (ZAR) | Aftermarket New (ZAR) |
|---|---|---|
| Headlight (each) | R350 - R900 | R650 - R1,500 |
| Tail light (each) | R200 - R550 | R450 - R950 |
| Indicator / fog light | R120 - R350 | R250 - R550 |
| Side mirror (each) | R150 - R450 | R350 - R750 |
| Rear-view mirror (interior) | R80 - R250 | R200 - R400 |
Headlights are a common buy because SA sun yellows and crazes the lenses. A clean used pair often looks better than a cheap aftermarket replacement — inspect the lens clarity before you commit.
Toyota Tazz 1.3 vs 1.6 — Parts Compatibility
This is the question that trips up most buyers. The short version:
- Body, glass, lights, interior trim, suspension and brakes are almost entirely shared between the 1.3 and 1.6. A door, dash, fender, headlight or shock from a 1.3 fits a 1.6 and vice versa.
- The engines are different. The 1.3 is the 4E-FE; the 1.6 is the 4A-FE. Engine-specific parts (pistons, head, ECU, some ancillaries) are not interchangeable between the two.
- Gearbox and clutch differ slightly by engine and year — quote your exact variant when buying a gearbox or clutch kit.
So if you are sourcing a bumper or a door card, the engine size barely matters. If you are sourcing an engine, head, or gearbox, state 1.3 or 1.6 (and the year) every time.
Pro Tip: Quote With Your Year and Engine Size
Because the Tazz spanned 1996-2006 with a mid-life refresh, the single best thing you can do to get an accurate quote is state three things: the year, the engine size (1.3 or 1.6), and whether your car has grey or colour-coded bumpers. That lets the yard pull the correct donor part first time and saves a return trip.
Where to Buy Toyota Tazz Parts in South Africa
Three channels cover almost every Tazz part. Each suits a different need.
1. Toyota Strippers and Dismantlers
This is where most Tazz parts come from. Boksburg, Kempton Park, Pretoria West and Johannesburg South in Gauteng, and Strand and the Cape Flats in the Western Cape, host concentrated stripping yards with deep Tazz stock. Both of our supplier partners — Gemini Parts in Johannesburg and Caryota Spare in Cape Town — operate here, and our broader used parts catalogue lists tested units from both regions.
Best for: body panels, interior trim, engines, gearboxes, lights — anything where a used part is the sensible choice.
2. Aftermarket Parts Retailers
National aftermarket chains stock pattern service parts for the Tazz — pads, discs, filters, belts, water pumps, alternators, headlights — because the Corolla-shared catalogue keeps demand high. Pricing is published and consistent.
Best for: brakes, service and wear items, lights, and engine ancillaries where new pattern parts are cheap and readily available.
3. Online Marketplaces and Classifieds
SA classifieds carry a long tail of private Tazz listings. Quality is variable — anything from a genuine clean panel with photos to a cracked dash described as “good condition”.
Best for: rare or year-specific trim. Always insist on clear photos, a stated price, and a physical address you can visit before paying.
FAQ
How much does a Toyota Tazz door cost in South Africa? A used Toyota Tazz front door costs R650-R1,800 depending on rust and dent-free condition; rear doors are slightly cheaper at R600-R1,600. Aftermarket pattern doors, where available, run R2,200-R4,500. Front and rear doors are different parts, so quote which one you need and your year.
Is there a Toyota Tazz parts catalogue with prices? There is no official Toyota dealer price list anymore — the Tazz was discontinued in 2006. The practical catalogue is the used-and-aftermarket market: this guide gives the real 2026 ZAR ranges by category, and our Tazz parts pages list current tested units from suppliers in Johannesburg and Cape Town.
How much is a Toyota Tazz engine? A complete used 1.3 (4E-FE) engine costs R6,500-R12,000; the 1.6 (4A-FE) runs R8,000-R14,000. Reconditioned units add roughly R5,000-R8,000 and come with a warranty. Because the engines are simple and well-supported, a recon is often worth the premium on a car you plan to keep.
Are Toyota Tazz parts interchangeable with the Corolla? Many are. The Tazz is built on the E90/E100-era Corolla platform, so a large share of mechanical, suspension and some interior parts cross over with same-era Corollas. This is exactly why Tazz parts stay cheap — donor supply is effectively the combined Tazz-plus-Corolla pool. Always confirm the specific part with the supplier before buying.
Do 1.3 and 1.6 Tazz parts fit each other? Body panels, glass, lights, interior trim, suspension and brakes are almost entirely shared between the 1.3 and 1.6. The engines (4E-FE vs 4A-FE) and some drivetrain parts are not interchangeable. So bodywork and trim — yes; engine and gearbox internals — quote your exact engine size.
Is the Toyota Tazz still worth repairing in 2026? For most owners, yes. Parts are among the cheapest of any car in SA, the engines are simple and rebuildable, and a clean Tazz holds its value as a reliable, low-running-cost runabout. The maths only stops working when major rust or a failed shell makes a body repair uneconomic against the car’s value.
Where can I get a Toyota Tazz parts quote? Use the quote form on this site — it goes to both Gemini Parts (Johannesburg) and Caryota Spare (Cape Town) at the same time, so you get pricing from JHB and CPT together. You can also call 011 334 1417 (JHB) or 021 903 7039 (CPT) directly. State your year, engine size and the exact part for the fastest accurate quote.
