Morning,
I've had my A6 Avant for a week, one part that was missing was the luggage blind for the luggage compartment. Well Audi wanted to relieve me of £299 plus vat for the privilege of a new one so i looked for a pre owned one.
Found 2 on Ebay one was currently at £19 and the other at £1.34! Happy days I thought. But whilst watching them i used a thing called partsgateway.co.uk that circulate your part request amongst possible suppliers, now i did this expecting nothing as i'd never had any luck using this kind of service before. But after just a few hours a company mailed back to say they had one and it was mine for £117.50 including next day carriage and a warranty.
So i then umm'd and ahh'd about what to do and in the end went for the £117.50 one because of the next day, warranty etc.
The two on Ebay finished with one at £132 plus £20 for carriage and £133 plus £20 for carriage. :biglaugh:
Well mine arrived at just after 8am this morning, it was ordered mid friday afternoon, and its exactly as described!
I'm a very happy Avant driver, and all my bits and pieces are safely hidden away!!!:Blush2:
