Hi again,

I just found out that the Air Mass Sensor needs to be replaced on my 1999 C70. Being the price-conscious person that I am, I went online to search for the lowest price. After spending a couple of hours looking at 15-20 sites, the cheapest price I can find is $228 (plus free shipping).

Before I decided to place the order, I gave a call to the local volvo dealer...probably just to feel good that the time I spent online wasn't a complete waste and I saved money. Well, the dealer quoted me $203 for the sensor. I was completely shocked and surprised. I called another dealer and they quoted me the same price, too.

In the past, I've always thought that part prices at the dealer was always more expensive than those non-dealer online parts retailer. If someone can explain this, please do so. Thanks!
