Hi, thanks. So these are the parts that I'm trying to buy online: rear struts and a water pump. These are the estimates that I got from the mechanic:
Reference. 271680 Quick strut $224.56
Reference. 271681 Quick strut $224.56
(W/ Chassis # SXV20 W/Chassis #VCV20 W/Chassis#MCV20)
Reference 42340 New Water Pump $109.52
However, I was able to find these parts with the same reference numbers on ebay for about half the price quoted here. I'm afraid though that if I buy my own parts, the mechanic might refuse to give me the 24 month warranty that he usually offers on his work. I can save $300 if I buy this online. However, if the mechanic does what I suspect he might do if I offer to buy the parts online, is it really worth the $300 saved?
Thanks.
