Default What happened the Impex part's site? they changed and prices have gone up drastically for parts

is this the weak dollar effect again??????
I looked up some parts a month ago and they were $10 cheaper for some.

The site is now called <A HREF="http://www.worldimpex.com">Worldimpex.com</A>

Any other sites where I can get parts that would be cheaper than they are right now?

All imported parts are more expensive now. Only going to get worse.

Default I have found that even before, I could get about the same prices at the dealer>>

if I negotiated with the parts guy. Impex is a good tool for looking up various p/ns sometimes tho.

Also, while Impex carries most dealer-only parts, I've found <a href="http://www.sasponline.com">SASPONLINE.COM</a> is a good resource with about the best prices for "replacement" parts... stuff like control arm bushings, ball joints, oil filters, etc. They just don't carry the dealer only stuff.
