Default upcoming new car

Soon to come, my eagerly awaited "part II" of the XKR shopping adventure thread that I started here. Hint: I found and bought a car. Awaiting shipment.

So, I know that it (a 2003) will have some deferred maintenance due, and per the PPI there are some small repairs needed, like the headrests (I've already found some helpful threads on that) and burned out bulb warnings on bulbs that still illuminate, etc. I presume transmission service, differential service, coolant, brake fluid, etc.is needed.

Is there a preferred/popular web site/supplier for parts for our kitties? With my Porsches and BMWs there are a few good sites (Pelican parts, for example) with excellent customer service. Do I have any good alternatives (USA domestic, preferably) to full retail at the dealer for OEM parts?

Thanks,
Michael

Try SNG Barratt, the forum sponsor - they're very good.

Welsh Enterprises is also a good one. Other nonspecific sites like Partsgeek and Rockauto can be okay so long as you do your research about which brands are OEM-quality or not.
