Beware the Boneyard...

[Ameer Antar]

I'm not accusing you of anything. It makes sense w/ Audi's...prices never 
make sense and you'll always be shocked about the other guy trying to sell 
a part for 50% more. If you do hear of anyone 'trying' to give away 5000 
parts please let me know. My dealer charges MORE than full list. The dealer 
70 miles away charges reg. list prices, and none of them stock any parts, 
other than wiper blades and other such items. I live in CT, where is your 
dealer?

Are you getting a bumper for the v8? Did you tell Dad's that he's $650 
over? What I was comparing is a few purchases such as turbo hoses, light 
assemblies, and misc body stuff. All were about 25% of the dealer price. 
But as I said before, some of their parts are way over-priced such as 
window regulators. About the same price used from Dad's or new from 
thepartsconnection. Now I have to deal w/ engine work and CIS parts. Talk 
about expensive. Bosch even raised their prices. Believe me no one is 
giving away parts. I only wish.
