    Angry euro dealers

    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
    had a bad experience with Oriental Parts, don't want to deal with them anymore
    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?

    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'

    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?
