I personally love paper catalogs over browsing websites (being able to flip through the pages looking at many different parts / prices, etc) and the fact that I can call IPD and talk with a real person to ask questions. That being said, I don't blindly buy from them. When I needed a new front turn lens, I bought one from www.volvoworld.com for ~ $55 after shipping (it actually was mailed from Swedish Car Parts near Chicago), IPD wanted ~ $125 or so for one.

Here's my order with IPD this past Friday (haven't gotten it yet), are these prices really way out of wack? They are definately cheaper than the local Volvo dealer, and I'm saving a ton of money by doing the work myself. But if there is a place where I could have saved a lot of money on these parts, let me know and I'll check them out in the future.

For my '93 945 turbo:

Water pump: $50.40

60,000 Mile Extended Service Kit: Bosch distributor cap, rotor, NGK spark plugs, air fuel and oil filters, spark plug wire set, timing belt, flame trap filter, injector seals, fuel filter seals, differential gasket and oil pan drain plug: ~ $166.

Visor CD holder: free (a promotional item for having an order of over $25)

Total = ~ $225 after shipping.
