Does anyone have any experience ordering parts from these folks? http://www.carpartswholesale.com

I need to order a number of things (power mirror, running board brackets, tail light assembly, etc) and their prices seem astonishingly low compared to the dealerships.

An aside: I priced those these items at Auto Zone and at two local dealerships. Auto Zone can only sell me the tail light assembly, the other two parts (power mirror and running board brackets) have to be purchased at the dealer. Anybody know why that is...?

On a related note: the prices quoted me by the two dealerships were very different. One would sell me a power mirror for $186.43 while the other quoted me $220.68... One wanted $61 for a running board bracket (each side requires two), and the other wanted $90.09. That's a remarkable discrepancy to my pea brain...

Anybody understand the in's and out's of these things?

Thanks,
Jerry (in uncharacteristically soggy Tucson, AZ)

Every dealer seems to have its own markup. I always compare prices with Courtesy Nissan before going to my dealer. They generally have low prices on their parts.

You should also hook up with some of the AZ off-road clubs. I know a few of them get discounts from a couple Nissan dealerships.

I've never used carpartswholesale.com, so I can't help you there.

Jerry, they deal well in any part that you like to purchase. I deal with them last month and under due date I got my entire order with good quility.
