Re: Tips on buying SS rack from Jorgen?

[Wallace White <wallace@remdesign.com>]

Thanks, Nick. I was able to order with a clear conscience, as an
individual.

As soon as I mentioned Audi, the guy at Jorgen said, "Power steering
rack, I presume." Sounds like they sell a lot of those. He asked me if
I'd been quoted a price; I said I'd read $160 on the quattro list (he
was indeed familiar with the list). He said it would have to be a little
higher for an individual, but "how does $175 sound?" Quite good, I said.
Nick, maybe your mentioning the quattro list is starting to pay off!

So, for anyone else who needs a rack:

Jorgen Automotive
Ann Arbor, MI
1800-333-0600
Stainless steel-sleeved rebuilt rack: $175 + $125 core

Time to print out all the E-mails I've been collecting regarding
changing the thing out.
