I know, I know.....it's an oxymoron but I want to buy a new steerring wheel and a few other things for the interior of my truck. Anyone know of a site that has good prices?

Thanks,

Adam

Thumbs up

Kelly's Chrysler in Ada MN surprisingly enough is a small town Chrysler dealer who has OUTSTANDING prices. I found them through our favorite mega auction site and called them with a question about some factory driving lights and some cab roof marker lights, not knowing they were a Mopar dealer. SURPRISE, SURPRISE!! I talked to Ron in the Parts department who was friendly and knowledgeable both about our trucks AND how large city dealers can be on their prices. Tacoma Dodge wouldn't even give me a price for the roof light install. They just pointed to the $80 an hour charge for service sign and snickered. When I asked why it is that a small town Dodge dealer quoted me a price of UNDER $300 for the roof light install and they can't (or won't?) match that price....well, that tells me all I already knew about Tacoma Dodge anyway. Anyways, you could do a google on them for the phone number or look on that mega auction site I was talking about and find them there also. I have nothing but good things to say about my dealings with them and I will again. If you need something from a Dodge/Chrysler dealer may I heartily recommend them!!

I am from MN and I dealt with that dealarship when I lost my front wheel bearing on interstate north of Fargo, ND.. They were $ 100.00 higher than wholesalemopar.com or dodgeparts.com.

BTW the light kit on wholesalemopar is $ 78.00

I think you're comparing apples to oranges there Valv. From my own experience, the "brick and mortar store" would be more expensive than the internet operation, although I'd gladly pay the $100 "premium" as opposed to waiting for the mail (or UPS) to arrive a couple of days later so I could fix my truck broke down along that freeway.
Anyways, I checked. The fog light kits for our trucks on wholesalemopar is $152.50 which I believe is about $1 more than I paid for the same kit at Kelly's (which is also available from them on Ebay, your choice). I don't know where you found the fog light kit for our trucks for $78 but it wasn't there at either site you mentioned from what I could find.... Comparatively speaking, let alone that they are a Dodge dealer, to be mentioned in the same breath as 2 internet operations like you mentioned and have prices EVEN CLOSE, (not to mention better) is itself impressive. I rest my case and will stick by every good word I said about them....

I think you have to read what you posted before replying. You said:

When I asked why it is that a small town Dodge dealer quoted me a price of UNDER $300 for the roof light install and they can't (or won't?) match that price..
The fog lights can be bought at $ 28.00 each at CertFit

All the online OEM parts sellers are actually Dodge dealers, DC will not sell original parts to anybody.
The business you mentioned does not have discounted prices, which is what the post is all about.

Regarding my issue, I didn't complain with price due to situation, I just argued your statement of that dealer being "economical".
