They were originally about $350 each. Add to that about $150 for a
third-party relayed harness (if you don't do it yourself), and you
were looking at $850 without labor. I think Audi dropped the price,
but that may have been awhile ago and maybe they are now NLA. You
can find Chinese knock-offs for cheap. (China still builds a version
of the Type 44).

It'd be worth asking the seller for more info -- when was the timing
belt done, does it have the original UFO brakes, is it chipped, etc.
