Parts cheaper from Nissan vs Infiniti?

[WhiteonWheat]

Ok, I tried my best to search this, but didn't come up with much of anything, so I'm posting the brain fart that I had while driving back from work that, our cars share some EXACT duplicates with the 350Z. Not much body, mainly engine, BUT, I did have the rear view mirrors come to mind first.

I was thinking, hey, if I had to buy a new rear view mirror for whatever reason, I wonder if it would be cheaper to buy the 350Z part from the Nissan dealer versus the Inifiniti.....get what I'm saying...?

Anyways, has anyone even thought of this or tried it out? Is it cheaper or the exact same price..?

I would try to buy what ever you need on line. If you
have ever delt with either Nissan or Infiniti you know
your getting screwed....kinda like buying parts from
BMW. Just bring your own soap....

Absolutely. Expect to pay a minimum of 50% more at the Dealership for the identical part.

I know that the oil filter is cheaper at Nissan than at an Infiniti store.

Yes. If the 350z has the same part as our car you can get it cheaper from a Nissan dealer. I get 25% off at a buddy with Nissan stuff. So it helps.

Can anyone name the best place to buy the parts online? I found a couple that were a bit less on price, but didn't disclose shipping charges...

What about OEM parts (Example, front oem factory grill and/or the inifiniti logo). Where can you find those online???? I know where I can find the NISSAN emblem for the front and rear, but just for example what about anything on the car that is totally OEM?

Thanks,
