They make the most money on replacement parts profit wise, than on the original sale of any vehicle. If this wasn't true, you could build a car from the parts counter for less money than it costs to buy one off the lot. I would think that, unless you are concerned with warranty repairs, aftermarket parts would either be much cheaper, or better quality than dealer available at the same cost. But it's your money, spend it where you feel it best. Tom in Dallas [AD removed for archives] ------------------------------------------------------------------- Erase wrinkles without Botox!
