I just got off the phone with the parts departments at two local dealers. The dealers are seperated by maybe 20 -25 miles. Here's what I asked for and their prices.


Part no. Dealer 1 Dealer 2

================================================== ========
12 131 703 359 (ignition coil) 108.88 87.94

11 129 070 530 (Valve cover gasket) 45.31 36.98

Why is there so much range in the prices of the same parts?
