dealership parts prices?

[Bluemaxww1 at aol.com]

I struck up a relationship with my local VW/Audi/Porsche dealer parts guys  
when I bought my 914 23 years ago.  I buy all of my parts from them.   Some 
cost a little more than a few internet sites, but when it comes to bolts  and 
dealer only stuff, I get a great discount.  50% of the guys I know by  name.  
They even order me stuff, from distributors, such as Ate brake fluid  at $7.50 a 
can.
 
This association has lastest through the 914, 84 coupe, 90 coupe, kid's  MKII 
jetta, and my wife New Beetle.  Pays off in the long run.

The list  seems to embrace Clair.  Although, I found by accident when the  
receptionist, connected me to the "wholesale"parts line at the local  
dealership 
the part was $40 less than the other dealer.......... OEM  original.  So I 
had it 
shipped to the guys garage I had the car  in.  Dude never knew......
