[s-cars] Help! - Auxiliary Water Pump

[JR]

Here's another example of what I mean:

http://www.thepartsbin.com/repsite/audi~auxiliary_water_pump~reparts.html

This part is $166.48

At the bottom of that link it says:

  Audi 200 Auxiliary Water Pump also fits these models:
Make    Model   Year    Model Info      Engine  Part Details
Audi    S4 Q Turbo      1992 - 1994             AAN


But elsewhere on the site I find this:

http://oem.thepartsbin.com/parts/thepartsbin/wizard.jsp?year=1993&make=AU&model=S4--001&category=All&part=Auxiliary%20Water%20Pump&dp=false

This part is $178.13.

Why are the prices different for what appears to be the same part?

Thanks,

JR
