I posted this message once before, but the response was not encouraging, maybe it was due to the holiday season so I'll try again.

I was excited when I found these prices, my first two purchases saved me $120 off dealer prices

Examples: (prices are approx. in CDN and do NOT incl shipping)
T-Belt tensioner 240/740/760/940(B21/23/B230/FT) 49.00
Water pump 240/740/940(B230/FT/B234) "hepu" 75.00
Motor mount 200 series (B21/B23/B230) L or R 17.00
Ball joint 240/260 W/PS 79-91 L or R 63.00
U-joints 200/700/900 2.5" 3" 3.25" 18.00
Brake disc 240/260 solid 56.00
Clutch cable All 240 Gas 49.00

I have been negotiating with a few Volvo parts suppliers in hope of finding an alternative to Dealer parts prices.

The concept is a mail order basis at close to wholesale prices. If we order parts on my account and I distribute them, we can get substantial discounts. I’m expecting to be given the OK for a trial period. If during this trial period the volume of parts is to the suppliers’ liking, additional discounts may be available.

Depending on the response I receive from fellow bricksters HERE I may or may not go ahead with this plan.

It may take a month or so to get things going.

Q #1 What is your average spending on parts for the maintenance and repair of your Volvo?
Monthly?…… Yearly?…….

Q #2 Are you willing to wait 7 - 10 days to receive parts?…..
