Best place to buy parts?

[Waterloo]

If dealing with OEM dealers, I shop around and force them to give me the lowest price. Dealer A gave me this price, Dealer B gave me this price, can you beat it? Normally works for OEM parts. If it is not an emergency, I go to eBay. I picked up a brand new steering shaft there for $150, nib w/ free ship. The dealer was $500+. Heater core, $745 from International, Pete dealer had the same core for $200 shipped overnight for FREE. Coolant bottle, International dealer $745. Played the dealer game and got a nib International unit for $250, shipped free, and no tax. And yes, I know I could have gotten an aftermarket bottle cheaper, but that was after the fact.

FleetPride for everything else, set up a cash account, normally good for at least a 15%+ discount. I have one, and if the price is not right, they can fix that if you are a good customer. ;-) I pay cash, as I could not buy a free lunch on credit. And you can thank the piss poor International ProStar and Cummins motor for that. I buy mucho parts and am always on vacation drinking beer in my driveway fixing this POS.

And trust me, parts counters across the entire state of Michigan and Ohio know me. They are always happy to take my call. ;-) $$$$$$$$$
