[V8] Stealer parts

[sdewitt at stx.rr.com]

Audi publishes recomended list prices, of which dealers then can modify 
to their choosing. The standard wholesale rate is 20 percent of 
published list prices. Publish list prices vary but are typically about 
40 percent over the cost of the part. Most dealers however mark up 
their prices from list, some as much as 50 percent more than the list 
price which means their total profit margin on parts sold at this cost 
is 90 percent.
