All
I recently bought my RS4 knowing it needs some tidying up, which was partly the point as I wanted a car I could work on and be proud of again. I used to own an E36 BMW 328IS and an older X3 and with both these cars BMW used to discount their car parts by up to 40% once they reached 10 years old (a nice help to those trying to keep older BMW's on the road). I've been amazingly disappointed with the prices I've been quoted by Audi for some small parts in order to bring this RS4 back to where it should be e.g. a single TPMS sensor £146, An alloy wheel centre cap £24, a RS4 Grill badge nearly £100 etc.
Given the aftermarket prices, even for good quality parts; I feel for a car company which charges what they do for new cars, this could at least be a little more competitive.
If anyone knows of anywhere who deals in high quality used parts (I seem to remember a place which broke lots of Audi's?) or good quality aftermarket, please let me know.
Thanks.
