well, I think that's kind of unfair but I can appreciate your angst/frustration! mayhaps I could /should have expressed myself better or differently! I don't mind at all paying for a part and I have paid full retail ! When I want a bargain I usually buy a used part (or sometimes e bay ) I spend hundreds $ some months. I do shop around for the best price I spread my buying of parts around and have bought fr quite a few different sources! ( and use the shops that offer Saab club discounts - By the way, some years ago I volunteered to call ALL the Saab dealers in the USA - used to be quite a few, It was a lot of work! I spoke w/ every parts manager or dealer principal in the USA and many of the discounts I negotiated/convinced them to give Saab club members STILL exist! So, I think I'm supporting ALL the Saab vendors! I appreciate and am grateful to them but sometimes it's a matter of availability! EG I got the last new 9-3 on cv wind blocker mounting kit in the USA supposedly and paid near retail & didn't complain was grateful to get it! I was clearly venting , talking about the $ they ORIO want to charge an indie shop, being an advocate for him/them. I am a mechanic/ Tech myself, and fix most things myself but I still go to a great Saab indie shop and pay whatever he charges me gladly when I need a repair I can't handle or would have to buy expensive special tools, or it's beyond my ability/aptitude (rare)."
