for the dealer to use at their customers' expense. So if someone buys parts from a dealer it's either for convenience, necessity, or because they don't know better.
I do believe that OEM parts are for the most part better, but since mfgrs primarily outsource parts you can hunt around and get the same quality for less on many parts. Anders is right that the dealer HAS to use OEM parts for warranty reasons, but otherwise it isn't really necessary.
I get Saab or OEM equivalent parts from eEuro or other sponsors and save a bundle but most people only do that if they DIY and most people, Saab owners included, don't know a muffler bearing from a frambulator.
