NLA - 'No Longer Available'.  Audispeak for "no one has ordered one for
years because our price was too high, or we didn't know what it fitted
anyway, so we stopped importing it".  Usually implies a large stockpile
on some other continent is currently the subject of a fire sale while
your pride and joy is sittin on a back lot in desperate need.

$     - expensive.
$$    - very expensive
$$$   - more expensive than a 3B spark plug
$$$$  - more expensive than an ur-quattro bumper
$$$$$ - think "small country's defence budget"
