We've already got this courtesy of Linda @ Carlsen Audi ... I'm not sure how
much larger of a discount you can offer but her 25% is not to be sneezed at.

BFD ... IMHO, it's almost always less costly to deal with them directly than
to ask for the "club" discount.

When the BMW CCA did this a few years ago, the discount offered was so tiny,
it proved cheaper for me to continue buying them through my normal sources.

BFD...

This will be the key ... as it stands, what you are proposing doesn't sound
so much like a club but a buying cooperative.  Considering your background,
I guess this makes sense and so long as "membership" is free, I guess there
is no reason to complain.  That said, though, what's in it for you?  If you
are willing to pay for the extra phone line, etc., you must expect to cover
your costs somehow, right?
