AutoThority chip available from German Parts & Restoration (GPR)

05-24-1999, 06:13 PM

According to the July issue of European Car I just received, German Parts & Restoration has a great price on the AutoThority chip:

"Authority [sic] 1.8 Turbo Chips (43hp)...$299.00"

If my memory serves me, this is $100 cheaper than getting it directly from AutoThority.

To further expand...you pay shipping WHO EVER you buy it from...(figure $30 for the cost to cover insurance)

The $299 price doesn't include GPR shipping back to you (which would be direct from AutoThority).

The GROUP price includes shipping back to you from AutoThority.

I'm no math major..but the deal looks the same. If you live in CA, results may vary for tax considerations.

(whew)
