questions



I don't have any problem with NAPA parts.  They are generally good quality,
much better than Autozone or Advance.  I bought a radiator to fit my Volvo
for $114 vs $250 at the dealer and $175 at my usual import part source,
including my discount.  The only thing I won't replace from other sources is
the Bosch stuff, as it lasts much longer than the knockoff replacement parts
most part places carry.

I would definately buy it.  If you are looking for a budget car then you
could even get some parts at your local *gasp* NAPA type store.  I recently
bought new rotors for the '86(since I'm selling it anyway) and they were
like $22 each.
