The Nissan Path

Great parts place if you need anything. I just had a great experience and wanted to recommend them.

I've had a sour taste in my mouth from my last couple of Courtesy parts experiences so I thought I'd try AAANissanParts.com as recommended by smj999smj. Apparently this is a Nissan dealer in new York.

Their web site is a little sketchy but the updated Nissan radiator I ordered was $130 cheaper, shipped out the next day and arrived 2 days later. Great communication, too.

What price did you end up giving for the radiator and what did Courtesy quote you? I think mine was $430 plus shipping from Courtesy and my local dealer claimed that was less than his cost. Hard to believe someone else would be $130 cheaper!

Wow, prices must have gone up. I paid $450 for the radiator; Courtesy quoted me $580 (I had to call because it's not on their web site). Prices at my local dealerships were $588 and up.

I also ordered a belt, some mounts and a belt tensioner. Prices for those were about 15-20% cheaper than Courtesy on average.

1stAAANissanParts.com is Mike Barney Nissan in NY state, near Buffalo. I've had a hard time finding anyone cheaper when it comes to Nissan parts and, likewise, the service was good. Another one that is supposed to be good is Cherry Hill Nissan in NJ. You have to get in touch with the guy and he'll set you up with a commercial account so you can get your discount. I haven't used them, personally, but others have and are happy. You can find their info in the "Praise or postal" section on these forums.

Well, the $.02 of plastic formed into the coin holder for the center console is only $76.43 compared to $89.17 on Courtesy, which is always a good indication for other parts prices. Now if I could only find a replacement upper glove box for less than $100...

They don't call them stealerships for nothing.

No, but some steal a little less than others!
