It depends on what you are after. FCP is very good on aftermarket stuff that isn't mission critical. IPD has a real niche on aftermarket performance parts and upgrades. For OEM stuff that is mission critical I also use either Darrell Waltrip Volvo or MyVolvopartsonline.com .

I use both. I compare the brands and how good the price is for the comparison. When I did my knock sensors, all tie rod components, axle, etc. I ordered parts from both! Not only that, but they arrived within a day of each other, as well.

I've used both as well - I haven't used myvolvopartsonline.com or Darrell Waltrip Volvo - I'll have to check them out. FCP is usually very friendly - alot of times it seems like i need a part right after a special ends. Typically I call them up and they'll give me a special or cut some type of a deal - really nice to work with.

What kind of deals do you get?

I normally order on-line at FCP Groton where I don't seem to get the deals like you are talking about.
I guess you only get these when you call in. How do you get the deals? "I just need to check the prices at IPD"

Maybe the FCP Groton guy can explain the best way to get good deals.

Do you use the Matthew's Volvo Code? It saves you 10% off plus free shipping over $99. Also if you call in ask for the discount and we can apply it. Thank you for your guys support.

Thanks. I now see the code in the ad at the top of the page. Unfortunately I've been going
to your site for a while and didn't pay enough attention to the add on this page. I'm just
starting so I'll have plenty of opportunities to take advantage of the discount.

With two 850's it looks like I'll tend to hit the $150 that qualifies my order for free shipping
but the lower limit will come in handy.

Need a new radiator, timing belt kit, and a second PCV kit so I will be doing more
shopping in the near future...

Will use code on all future orders...

Thanks
