I checked local sources and Borton Volvo (Minneapolis) and Nils Sefeldt Volvo (Houston, TX). Generally found Borton slightly better for items they carried in stock, but Sefeldt better for less common items. Both much better than local dealers. Examples below.

1. CD Changer (6CD) P/N 3533937 Borton $425; Sefeldt $441; local $595-627
2. CD Changer cover P/N 9164232 Borton $141; Sefeldt $139; Local $167-176
3. Strut Brace P/N 9204176 Borton $159(sp order); Sefeldt $140; local $175
4. Car Cover P/N 8551443 Borton $197(sp order); Sefeldt $173; local $228
5. Security cover P/N 9134830 Borton $145; Sefeldt $151; local $192-211

I don't think you would go wrong at either Borton or Sefeldt. Borton more geared to e-mail quotes (parts@borton.com), but took longer to respond; Sefeldt has e-mail, but prefers phone to 800 4680041 as parts dept not yet fully computer accessable via e-mail. Incidentially shipping UPS from Sefeldt was $15 for a pretty big order.
