I am constantly amazed by how affordable most of the parts I seek at the 
dealer turn out to be.

Did you know that the entire tt coupe cupholder assembly is under $20?

Of course, there are always things that could be called horrifically 
expensive, but for what they are, the price is usually reasonable.  But 
I am also using a dealer that doesn't mark things up just for fun.
