Re: Cheap NOS!?!


Yes, I have seen an ad from the AutoMuseum Volkswagen in a German magazine.
Only two special offers were listed for the type 3: turn signal lens USA up
to model year '72 and its rubber gasket, price: DM 14 each (1 DM = approx
1.6 US$ ?). Again, this was a special offer, and prices listed for other VW
parts did not seem really cheap to me. BTW, they have no catalogs or price
lists, I guess you just have to let them know what you need and they will
let you know what they have.
So, NOS parts yes, but beware: I think that most of you in the US who are
spoiled by those silly prices from that huge number of competing aftermarket
suppliers won't find them "normal" Volkswagen prices.
