Default I'll never sell even 1 of them unless another B5 is coming down the pike. Rolled'em up for sure.
I can afford it but damn I'm giving up a sport or two as it goes now. It is not that I don't have the capability I'm paying more for the sheer convenience. Something about dropping it off and walking the 15 min to work and then back at the end of the day to get it. I've got a 4 year old son, tight schedule, etc. so I fear getting stuck in the middle and then having to go there anyway.

Default Meh... don't bother haggling them over $ 25.00... it's not worth it in my opinion...
It just sets the tone that you are now aware of. I'd personally take my business elsewhere.

Default The stealer gets like $120 an hour here. I should ask our aircraft mechanic if he knows Audi's. :)

The labor price doesnt look that bad, but you paid about 3x too much for parts.
