2pc EM p/n's and prices (more)

[Ken Keith]

Hello,

I was at the local Audi dealer (Scottsdale Audi), and got a price quote
on some 2 piece exhaust manifold pieces.  The prices are higher than
Carlsen for sure.  As a matter of fact, the "list" and "net" columns on
my quote are the same price!  I plugged them into my earlier post below.

These parts weren't in the Carlsen quote:

035 145 880		Support					????		105.12
N 013 812 8		Washer 502D				????		0.64
N 016 153 1		Carrier					????		3.45

Note that the previously bad part number 034 145 880 was probably
supposed to be 035 145 880, which is the support bracket.

Total $1174.23 + 78.38 tax for $1255.26 out the door.  $319.12 more
expensive than the parts that I got quoted from Carlsen.  There were
more parts included in the Scottsdale Audi quote, which aren't included
in that difference.

I hope I got that math right.  The quote I got included only one 034 129
933 clamp, so I had to work the numbers a bit.

If the price of the support bracket from Carlsen is also the same average
percentage of the price from Scottsdale, then it should be somewhere
around $75.76 instead of $105.12 (about 72% of the higher price is what
Carlsen seems to offer)  This makes my unofficial total before tax
$832.01, including the calculated bracket cost and washer/plug at "full"
price.

Here is an excerpt of an excellent post by Igor Kessel, back in '98.  It
includes a more complete listing of p/n's.  Here is the post address:
