[s-cars] Parts prices

[Bob Rossato]

 Yup, I've run into the same thing with them.  And let's not mince words
here, Hoffman Audi definitely uses a different price list than other
dealers.  At least those that I've dealt with.  A couple of examples.
Hoffman quoted me a price of $197 for the belly pan, while Carlsen had a
list price of $133 and sold it to me for $113.  A crank shaft pulley was
quoted at $75 from Hoffman, while Clair had a list of around $54, discounted
to $45.  The only thing I use Hoffman for is $2-3 items such as bolts/nuts
that I need right away.  I should try Fathers and Sons in West Springfield,
since they're Hoffman's closest competitor, to see which price list they
subscribe to.
