The other reason i order and replace parts is that when you don't need them, you have them as spares and can do the work leisurely. I would to be caught in a position of having to pay retail for a part. Consequently, I usually have a box of spares which has come in handy on several occasions...
...ovp, fan clutch and voltage regulator come to mind.

So did I and now I am sitting on a pile of spare parts after my 300CE w124 is wrecked  . Gotta go thru the hassle of reselling them.
For my next car I won't be buying parts in advance but only when they are needed.
