[s-cars] Audi parts -- Re: Antenna Mast Price

[Bill Clancy]

ya... the whole audi dealer parts rip-off thing really gets to me sometimes. 
I wish we could get back at them, but I don't think the dealer cares if we 
buy their parts or not.   I feel like they are discouraging it.
I just paid $227 for the same LuK clutch that the dealer sells for $800. 
It's exactly the same, right down to the cardboard box that it comes in.   I 
know this because last time I needed a clutch I bought both and compared 
them.   After seeing that the two parts were the same, the shop returned the 
first one back to the audi dealer.

You can get that antenna mast for about $20 on-line as Todd has mentioned 
below.  There is little difference between them but it would help to get the 
exact one.    I've replaced the mast on a ford, a Buick, and a Mitsubishi. 
They all looked the same to me (there was probably some slight difference).
