If you want OEM parts, but your local dealership is
not to your liking, look for those dealerships that
sell parts over the internet.
A while ago I needed rear shocks for a '98 Subaru.
The local dealer told me they were $120. I called
Liberty
Subaru in Paramus, NJ (www.libertysubaru.com), and
they told me that the shocks listed for $105, but they
could sell them to me for $85 plus UPS shipping.
Sounded good to me!
For my Prius, Metro Toyota in Cleveland sold me nice
OEM rubber floor mats a lot cheaper than the local
dealer would.
