Here in Miami, a parts house called "Finish Line" sells good quality parts (Hengst, Mann, Knecht filters, though not your choice) for quite a bit less than the same parts carried by Discount/Advance Auto Parts, Auto Zone or Pep Boys.

They seem to be identical to the parts sold by the dealer, other than they don't have the tristar logo.

I used to shop at Finish Line all the time, until I sold my car. I know George, Eugene, Ernesto etc. They are pretty good with prices. I saved a lot of money shopping there. It is a cheaper alternative to the dealer.

Back on topic: I think you should find a pal who has a shop, or works at a shop. Let him order the parts, and you go there to pick them up. That way, you save money, and shoot your pal a 6-pack.
