Happy Holidays To All Volvo Lovers!!!
I am looking for some Chicago Area U-Pull-It type recycling yards that have a nice stock of Volvo parts for my aging fleet. I have been going to Victory Auto Wreckers in Bensenville, but lately their pricing has been exotic to say the least. They wanted $10 a piece for the trunk shocks and $30 for a front seat bottom foam cushion for a 740. I can get new gas struts at FCP of Groton for $13 each NEW. When I was at my brothers house in CA last year, the local yard had engines on sale for $79! This is my kind of pricing! I can see all kinds of engine swapping potential! All of their pricing was shown on a big board too, what a unique idea, knowing what the part costs before you purchase it! Victory's pricing seems to be of the if you need it, it will cost you plenty marketing plan. Victory wanted $300 for a B230 engine of undetermined vintage and running condition. In all fairness they did have a 30 day exchange policy on defective parts. Can anyone suggest some other places to visit?
Thanks,
John
