Where do you buy your OEM parts for the best deal?
It's amazing when you put a part number in at 1/2 dozen of these dealers, the variance in prices you get, then the shipping estimates you get.
I find that a local dealer, Varsity Ford, has the lowest prices - and I don't pay for shipping.

I just got my Limited wheel from AutoNation White Bear Lake MN., shipping is cheap since they are just about 400 miles away. I also use Sunrise Ford. Tasca's shipping from the east coast to the midwest is a killer sometimes it's higher than the part I'm looking to buy, that's what they mark up,lol.

I think it's safe to say that a lot of us like to modify our trucks and some of us like to use OEM equipment. Currently I am wanting to change out the steering wheel on my '15 Lariat to the '17 Platinum version. I want to add adaptive cruise control, so I figured I will upgrade my leather at the same time. I called my local Ford dealer and they want $392 for the steering wheel (JL3Z-3600-LA). I have bought some items from Tasca before, they want $290 shipped to my house. So I checked around. I found it at Walt Sweeney Ford in Ohio for $260 shipped to my house. Saved $30 to spend on other parts needed for the mod. That got me thinking, where do the rest of you buy your OEM parts to get the best deal and not your "buddy" at a dealership or some parts store. The place that the rest of us could get the same price. Your input is appreciated!
I put the part number in Google, then clicked "shopping". Several options came up and Sweeney was one of them. I live in Illinois and the shipping was only $8.16 for priority mail. Tasca wanted $22.65 for shipping.
