I live not far from a Saab Dealer (B&B Saab) and so sometimes I go buy parts there for my Aero I cannot get elsewhere. Intakes, or other weird plastic parts. Normally I buy maintenance parts from either eEuroparts.com or thesaabsite. Both have excellent service and excellent parts, of course.
But today, I called about getting a new throttle body preheater hose for my Aero (mine has a small crack). They are 18.00 on eEuroparts, but with a couple days to get here, I figured I'd call the dealer and see if they had one on the shelf.
They quoted me a much higher price (as expected). Something like 36.00. So I told them I would pass, and just order it on line. He asked where I was getting things, and if they were Genuine Saab (they are, and I told him), and I hung up.
But less than 5 minutes later, he called back, and said they would match the price I got on line!
I am not saying that folks should stop using eEuro or other online places (because they are excellent, and I'll probably still do the bulk of my business with them) but it is worth something to me that my dealer was willing to work with me.
Just thought that was interesting, because in all the years I have been working on cars, never once has a dealer tried to price match!
