[s-cars] Re: Looking for price of RS2 E.M. in Germany

[jimk at spotgraphicsinc.com]

When I got mine from Germany last year it was just about US$400.  With the way that the Euro has been climbing (or the dollar falling), that same piece should cost you about $440 now.  At the
same time a genuine RS2 turbo could be had for less than US$900 IIRC.  Even though some don't seem to like the RS2 turbo, for that kind of savings it's worth a look.  I'm happy with mine and have
no doubt I could sell it pretty quickly for what I paid if I ever wanted to.  The above prices were achiveed with nothing special, just my uncle walking into his local Audi store and ordering
from the parts counter.  Both items were shipped to me for less than US$60 and arrived in about 2 weeks.
IMPORTANT NOTE:  The RS2 turbo is packaged HORRIBLY from the factory.  It is in a flimsy cardboard box that would barely suffice for the local technician walking it from a parts counter to a
service bay with a dead Audi RS2 in it.  It MUST be repackaged before shipping to avoid damage.  Even with repackaging it still arrived here with the mounting bolts sticking out through the foam
and dense newspaper and heavy cardboard box.  I was a wee bit nervous until it was installed and works fine.  The Exhaust manifold must also be packaged, it arrived at the dealer in a plastic
bag.
