OEM Parts -- Where is the best place to buy?

I am looking for an OEM exterior passenger mirror. What is the best place online to buy one?

Or just go to a local dealership?

did you install your turn signal mirrors as aftermarket on an S model, or were they stock and you had to replace one??

I am already registered in the system so that when I buy parts again the discount gets added automatically.

Recent Example.

I bought some OEM wheel bearing seal for $13.xx each
Regular price: $28.xx each
Online price: $11.xx each + shipping.

For my old Nissans I've had good experiences with Courtesey Nissan.

I am shopping for touch up paint, the 09 aux harness (ipod cable), maybe some weather mats and maybe a trunk organizer

I found http://www.nissanaccessories247.com/maxima-accessories

The touchup paint there cost less than Courtesey Nissan. They also have a free shipping promo on floor mats and $100 or more puchase receives $10 off reg shipping.

If you print out the online parts list with prices and go up to the parts manager, 9 out of 10 times he will match that price. The price you see online is the wholesale price that othe small dealerships pay for oem parts. Most of the street customers get charged full retail price but if you ask and especially if you are a repeat customer, they might just match the online price or even better, set up a wholesale account in your name so you are always charged the "shop price" or wholesale price.

It's always good to ask, the worst that can happen is they'll say no but most will give you a discount from retail price to make a sale. Especially if you're buying more than just touch up paint and oil filters.

There is a place online that I have ordered quite a few things from and their prices always are below dealership prices:

Yeah, I have a 2009 maxima. I replace the regular mirrors with the ones with the blinkers, auto dimming, and heated mirrors. The paint was not a perfect match but its barely noticeable. I also bought the assembly for the fogs of them and shipping is pretty fast.

Yeah the man with the plan kmoney hooked me up. Get in line though, I heard the wait list is getting pretty long which is understandable cause his work is legit and takes you step by step through the processes.
