Yep, already looked up most of the parts on Tasca or on FCP. FCP has become a bad place to get parts. Used to be my favorite, but now they mostly sell aftermarket crap or OEM parts are priced higher than at Tasca. I have made very few purchases at FCP lately even though they keep sending me 20% off coupons. Something has changed there and they've become cheap aftermarket parts pushers. If I want OEM or original Volvo parts, they are not the place with best prices. I like Tasca now. They are close to me and I usually get the parts next day. Tailgate struts are $68/each at Tasca and FCP has some for $17 (aftermarket) and some for $47 (Sachs). If Sachs is any good I may go with those since I have a 20% off deal. BTW, the coupon code for 20% off is "maxrossi20". FCP encouraged me to share it, so here it is if you want to buy stuff from FCP. Not sure how long it will last.

Anyway, I am negotiating a price with the seller right now. I may have the car soon if all goes well.
