Dedicated Ford owners are a crazed bunch. And rightly so, because a good Ford product can last for decades.

When it comes to maintaining these classics – and your newer future classic – you owe it to yourself (and your bank account) to visit www.fordpartsonline.com, which has fast become one of the hottest vehicle sites on the Web.

That's because Ford Parts Online site sells only new, factory Ford parts at wholesale prices and ships all over the world. The selection of product is comprehensive, and customer satisfaction is stellar.

As always, we wanted to find out more, so we talked to store manager Chris Tilton and quizzed him about the site. Fordpartsonline.com does not sell their database to anyone (important) and utilizes industry-recognized security (more important). Heck, they don't even use cordless phones in the office, as scanners can be used to monitor those conversations and obtain credit card numbers.

But the proof is in the pudding, right? We checked with local dealers, and Fordpartsonline.com was consistently 40 to 50 percent off the quoted dealer price for several Ford parts we compared head-to-head. And we specifically had the dealers quote only the parts price, not parts and labor. You just can't beat that.

So the next time your favorite tow vehicle, or family car, requires some maintenance, it's well worth your time and money to compare prices before you purchase.
