And the kicker is that the dealer probably buys them from the same place but
pays wholesale!  Just for the fun of it, try calling the local VW dealer
sometime and pricing a shared VW/Audi part from them ... often, they're
quite a bit cheaper and (here in Phoenix, at least) on the shelf instead
still in the distributors warehouse.
