One thing I lucked out on when GM was the only parts source and handling official SAAB service... the SAAB dealer parts counter was closed and I was in a rush to fix something, so I just called up the local GM dealer parts counter, rattled off the parts numbers I wanted, and they automatically gave me "shop pricing" (not sure if it was wholesale or not, but it was cheaper than eeuroparts but in Canadian $$ with no shipping so very cheap for our market, where eg an OEM TB for a 9-5 is $600+)... I guess they just assumed that because I could order by p/n, I was a tech (which is not the case at all)...
$800/m is probably not much impact for a real shop doing lots of SAAB business if parts discounting is not an option from other sources.
