This Price Comparison Chart showcases many items commonly mentioned on this board for maintenance and tune-ups.
For about the past month or so, I have extensively searched for the best prices on items I need, both for my 850, as well as my mother's V70.
Due to HUGE fluctuations in prices (like a heater core), I decided to do a Price Comparison Chart, so that I could easily see which pieces to get from which vendors, for just about as cheap as I could.
One thing I took into consideration in dividing up my orders was the amounts required to qualify for free shipping, and the weight of the items being shipped... For instance, when looking for rotors, FCP Groton may have been slightly cheaper, but eEuroparts offered free shipping, and on a set of 4, that swung the pendulum.
I should mention that anything I needed from a dealer, I was able to procure through FCP Groton at a fraction of the cost - usually around 60% - even for items not listed on their website... just call or email Nick with the part number, and I have yet to inquire on an item they could not procure!
Anyway, you can link here to a pdf file
