[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 554672, member: 52972"] meispizza, Price is not the only issue when buying replacement parts. I'm sure some company in China could make most parts for the Sport Trac or any vehicle and sell them here for a lot less money than Ford sells the same part. In addition to price, there are many high quality parts availabe with far better warranties than Ford offers on anything they sell. It's possible to by many rebuilt parts that are as good or better than new that carry 50K mile warranties and even Lifetime warranties. And finally, the prices you quote may be what your dealership sells the parts for, but not necessarily what all dealers change. When I buy parts at my local auto parts stores, I can get about a 15% discount on anything I buy, but I have never been offered a discount at any New Car Dealership's parts counter. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
