I buy all my Volvo parts off Ebay or direct out of England. Half the price of buying them here.

so by ripco i would presume you feel you are getting ripped off correct! myself as a consumer would go to the nearest place and ask for a discount.

What an awesome, informative thread.

it could be informative if you participated - think about it, everybody drives cars, cars need things replaced, what do you do about it! where do you go, is it a convenience thing, is it price driven! etc

STAparts, Rip Every Poor C**t Off (Repco), ebay (we had some parts sent by sea freight ahhh won't do that again, cheaper than air freight but when it gets to this side ouch quite a few extra charges no one told us about) and sometimes Supercheap. where ever has the cheapest parts we're not loyal :D

ok i will play along . Are you asking Why or Where !

Supercheap are good when they have a 25% off sale, otherwise you can get basic car parts from Partmaster and Appco cheaper. Avoid Repco as they're a retail only. Appco is their trade/wholesale division.

If I had to pay retail then yes I would, trade pricing seams ok. The markup they make on parts sold to the public must be huge.

If I do need parts, I usually get them through Repco. The reasons being, is that they are open on the weekends BUT, also, because I get a really good discount through work. Otherwise, I refuse to pay retail prices no matter where I go.
