ojaieldo Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 Well guys, after going nuts reading all the great input and trying to decide how to go, I went to a gm dealer nearbye, and an old buddy was working the parts counter, YES!! I showed him some prices I'd printed off Flow Chevrolets site on gm parts direct, and showed I could get rear rotors for $39.95 plus shipping as an example. He pulled up his screen and showed me that that was his cost.I asked him how they made money,and he explained how they buy out dealers etc.He said he'd sell me any gm part for 10% over his cost YES!!! I got new rear rotors for $43.96 that's less than Flow if you count the shipping, so I bought all kinds of stuff! front rotors $101.16,new wires $78.86, 8 plugs 950's $38.60 air filter $5.50 fuel filter $11.90 front pads $48.92 rear pads$$44.54,new center caps for my wheels $23.00each!! new leather shift knob $165.00 HMMM.Anyway went all new,all stock. what do you think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
