$100 plus shipping for me as I live in Canada and had a friend in US
actually complete purchase then ship to me.

I have to back track on the brake master cylinder. Had a call this morning
from the supplier who said they made a mistake and mixed up part with the
ealier model year (http://www.germanautoparts.com/)

Sorry, link for actual one I ordered ($280) is on my office PC.

If you need a master cylinder let me know. There isn't actually anything
wrong with mine except for it being 9 years old. Just replacing it as it's
all apart and would probably need replacing sometime in next 10 years!

  On the "stealer" vs independent note, yesterday I was able to get new
Spark cables for my wife's 98 A6 at $71 from the dealer. My usual discount
independent wanted $182.
  You just never know.
