Car parts pricing mystery

Recommended Posts

Got replacement manually adjustable replacement mirror for Pug 205 - the full works - from my local Eurocarparts, for £16.45 including VAT.

 

Amazing! It looks and weighs like it could cost £75 or more. Pleasant surprise after Corrado bits prices.

Quality parts costs, the mirror will probably drop off the Pug next time the wind blows, maybe they undercharged you, perhaps go back & ask how much they want for an M16 engine & they may get that wrong too! :cheers:

Nope - wrong on both counts, man.

Mirror unit is same as original which was broken off by some low life this week after nearly 15 years on car.

Price is correct - see website.

£16 for a whole mirror!! That's very good considering just the Corrado heated glass is £50 a side!

 

It's swings and roundabouts though....I used to have a Cavalier and the distributor cap for that was over £60 but for a Golf GTI it's £15 and a key for my Dad's Mondeo costs £80, whereas it's £45 for an Audi!
