i have noticed that in toronto, don't know about other places, prices between dealers can also be different. i've noticed a up to a 10% difference between the various saab dealers, with the cheapest, and highest availability at thornhill.
plus it never hurts to ask if they can do better on it.
i used work at a shop, and when ever we ordered parts, we'd always ask if they could do better, and most of the time, they would discount it, especially if your ordered more than 1 item.
also, when you call a place, always remember the parts guys name, and ask for the same guy, that way they start to remember you, and he'll be more inclined to discount a sale since he knows your a repeat customer. sometimes, all it takes is a "remember me?", even if they don't they will say yes, not to lose a sale.
also, if you know independant parts suppliers, you'd be surprised at what they can find for you, if you do the ground work and look up the part numbers of 3rd party manufacturer of the items you need. a lot of the time, their computer systems don't have the look up for a lot of the saab parts, so doing your homework really helps them find what you need. otherwise, you'll get the we dont have it, instead of i'll look in to it for you.
