Default Do all Audi dealers in the Denver area charge ridiculous prices for parts?

I need to get another coil pack for my B5 A4, so I called a few dealers around the area and they are all selling them for $48-$52 a piece. The last time one went in my girlfriends B6 A4, I paid $32 at the dealer near my work in suburban Philly.

Are they all higher priced out here? I understand that dealers have some variation in pricing, but $52 in Denver vs. $32 in Philly area (which I would expect to have higher pricing) is somewhat ridiculous.

Default genuinevwaudiparts.com

And I believe checker or autozone carries the coilpacks that audi uses.

Default These guys are awesome!

I just bought two brand new wiper arms for my 92 UrS, it was like $80 shipped and that was just a hair more total than what one wiper arm would have cost me locally.

If you want to go local, go to VW dealerships and order by part #.
