Kneale.........looks like I got a better deal:) At my local Autozone the
price for the rental is the same, $25...with them, the $25 is called a
deposit, so regardless whether I bought my parts from them or not, upon
returning the tool I got all the deposit back..........also, with this
store, the outright buying price for the tool was the same $25. I got
lucky, they had one unused, in an opened box. I do live in an area with not
many Audi's equals little demand for the tool
