RE: LIFTERS!! - Pricey??? Am I getting screwed???

["Perry, Chris" <perryc@wdni.com>]

Sorry I have no experience w/ the new part #.  I got mine from a local Euro
parts place in the Seattle area.  The name of the place is Autosport Imports
(206) 878-5630.  I remember paying $12 ea.  It sounds as if the mechanic is
either buying from the dealer or marking the price up 100%.  My
recommendation would be to check the vendor list on the Quattro web page at
HTTP://coimbra.ans.net/quattro.html   and call one of the discount vendors.
