Re: handling comparison

[Kris Tewkesbury <tewkes@engin.umich.edu>]

I went to VW Parts Place yesterday to get some used parts for my rocco.  I
was amazed at all the parts they had there.  They have 1 1/2 acres of
dismantled VW's.  They had 4 rocco's for sale, 2 16v's in decent shape, a
85 wolfsburg for $900 and another 1983 rocco.  I got a mail order catalog
if anyone is interested in ordering themselves one the number is
(248)373-2300.  It's in Auburn Hills, MI about 20 miles north of Detroit.  

I picked up a used rim and a spare donut for $15/ea.  I also got a used
washer fluid container for (don't faint) $15.  I needed it badly, so I ate
it.  This place  seemed rather high on many things and they had no
performance parts.  The people there do know their stuff and I guarantee
they have any part you're looking for.  

Price on used teardrop wheels: $125 ea  - $160 new

Just thought I would share my experience.  Also, if anyone knows anywhere
else that offers mailorder catalogs, please let me know.  Still comparing
many prices.
