Based on what I know from friends who have worked at dealerships (not SAAB) Indies buy parts from a dealer, which have been marked up about 10%, but are way below retail. Indies usually seem to charge about the same as dealers for parts, pretending they make little or nothing off the parts, when in fact they enjoy a sometimes sizable markup. The markup can vary, depending on what the part is. To answer your question, yes, it is entirely possible for an Indie to sell you genuine SAAB parts for less than the dealer does.
