My hard-headed local Ford dealer would only give me 10% off on parts, so I tried
http://www.fordpartsonline.com Ford Parts Online. Their web site is still being built, and is very slow. Here are a couple of sample prices for Motorcraft parts, which are pretty much in line with after-market prices:
EGR - List: $127.33 My cost $74.49
O2 Sensor - List: $ 87.62 My cost $45.41
I ordered late on a Friday afternoon, and parts were shipped the following Tuesday. All done by e-mail, and they were pretty prompt replying. They do have an 800 number. Order was shipped UPS Ground, ($7.00) which took a week, unusually long for coast-to-coast shipment. May be due to aviation delays lately. (ground shipments do go on aircraft)
All in all, I'm pleased with their service, and if you need Motorcraft parts and can wait a few days, this seems to be a good deal.
