euro dealers

[TDIfan]

into the gloss door pillars, so emailed the local VW dealer
and guess what the quote was? $109.69 A PIECE, and I need 6 peices for me 4 doors
so it's $658.14 for me excluding shipping cost from Europe
and I believe that the part+shipping should be way cheaper than that

so here is my question
anyone here know any Euro VW dealer ships to Aus?
BTW I might buy more stuff in the future

thanks Gavin
tried ebay already with no luck

but they don't have the parts anyway

Hang on a minute, let me get this straight. You contacted an Australian VW dealership, who gave you a quote on the parts you require, but are banging a freight charge on top?

Which VW dealer? There is more than one in Perth.

the parts are pricey, and they didn't even quote me for the fright which would take 3 to 4 weeks as they said

I went with John Huges
for other VWs, I used to service in Osborne Park, the parts aren't cheap
VW Commercial Center don't deal with passenger vehicles
I think this is all we have in Perth?

there is a reason when they are called 'stealer'

[Umai Naa!!]

Why would they be quoting you freight?

Is the dealership delivering them to your doorstep?

PM me the part numbers if you like. I'll see what I can come up with at my local dealership. Maybe there'll be a difference in the total price, even if it's trade price + sending them from here to you.

Yeah I remember getting a price from my local VW and it was around $70 each... or $90, I can't recall. Either way, ridiculous.

There are a couple other dealers in Perth... Wangara & Melville

I'd be surprised if a VW dealer would charge freight on top though. Did they say that?

If you google OEM VW parts - do any of them look OK?

ECS tuning?

UK dealership?
