The acountants would then argue (assuming the payments are the same),

"You can collect interest on the money you can pay later, so pay later"

Value vs cheap
 
'Cheap' auto parts are generally inferior but don't confuse value with 'cheap'.

I generally stick with either Ford parts or well-known aftermarket brands, regardless of price.

There are exceptions. When I needed new axles a few years back, the local Ford dealers wanted over $400. for a pair of stock axles. Yeah, right. When I finished laughing at the counterman I called up Mustangs Unlimited and bought a set of Moser Street axles for $225., complete. Cheaper in price, not in quality.

Sometimes, the high priced part, factory or aftermarket, is simply a rip-off, based on a famous name or simply Ford profit-taking. You don't always get what you pay for.

Caveat Emptor.

Too true.


I talked to a guy at my local speed shop today, and he said something like, "It costs $49 just to say "Steeda"."

Cheap tools don't pay in the long run, either.

Take care,
