If you find cheaper OEM parts, get the prices in writing (or, say, print-out applicable subaruparts.com pages) and negotiate with the dealership that gave you the original parts quote. They may be willing to price match. But be assured, they will not be happy if you come waltzing in with your own parts without prior approval.

So far the dealership had no problems with me asking......I already told them that I had some of the items anyways. I have a decent relationship with them already. They also printed me out a parts list with the quote...which I requested seperately.


What sucks about subaruparts.com is the charges they have for shipping....certain items can be 40-80 additional shipping depending on the items!
