For an especially egregious example - I just bought the timing belt tenshioner assembly for my car from Eeuroparts for $219. My local dealer wanted $400 for the exact same part. And I do mean the SAME part as it came in a Saab box! SKF is the only company that makes these things. The belt and the other pulley were less than 1/2 the dealer's price. I saved enough on the parts that it paid for the labor to have it done at my favorite Indy vs. getting it for "free" at the dealer. Don't even get me started on thier servicing charges - $750 flat rate for a 60K service NOT including the timingbelt or changing the tranny fluid. <$100 in parts and three hours of my time for that one.
It always amuses me when folks get hot and bothered about using only dealer parts - as though Saab has a little foundry out back making brake rotors and such. They buy them from whoever can make them cheapest this week!
