Title: Sunroof....
Post by: logeyboy on 08 May 2012, 19:17
My deflector doesn't pop down when I close the roof. Had a look and it seems there's a bit missing from the arms??

They still are about that from VW, it's just some people like to add a bit of tax.

£13.21 Each Plus Vat & Feck all discount even if you buy 10 sets.... they only come down to £12.00 ish...

so that guy is making very little on those... 2 x £13.21 plus vat = £31.704

35.00 less 8% sellers fee's and 3.4% Paypal = £31.1052

& Free Postage...

Guys actually loosing money....

Response from VW just now...

We can still obtain these parts from the warehouse, they are £14.00 each plus vat. Because of the age of the vehicle we would need them pre paid, prior to ordering.
 
Available within 48 hours


Works out only £1.40 cheaper than ebay and then I have to go to the effort of collecting them...  :sad:

Honestly can't see why anyone would buy something to sell at a loss.

Maybe he can't use a calculator!!

Wouldn't be the 1st time I've seen this happen..

Or Maybe he's listened to another "Forum" where your expected to give stuff away to become a "Dubber"..... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

In fairness to the guy selling them he might have bought some old stock,  I used to get stuff from land rover dealers all the time for pennies this strikes me as a item that would be sold for no money because it's been overorderd or no one can be botherd to find out what they are.  Used to have boxes of new main agent stuff that no one could be botherd to sort out.
