I realize that . Most of my Audi parts I get are from 'other' sources who buy from the original manufacturers. It's kinda funny-I'll get a part that was made by Bosch or VDO for Audi from a non-dealer supplier for much less and it will have the "4 rings" Audi symbol rubbed off with a Dremel !(all Audi parts have the '4 Rings' symbol pressed into them.) I Have not found as many 'alternate' sources for real dealer parts for Mitsubishi yet but I'm sure they are out there. Also , I guess I was moaning more in this thread about Used parts anyway.
