Where are you shopping Lee, the exchange rate isn't that good! I think you might be looking in New Zealand instead of the US!
US $88 should be about AU $87.10 I believe, but nobody gives you the official exchange rate so you're still going to have to pay more than the sticker price for a while until we get far enough in front to cover the exchange fees.

It is a great time to buy and I want to buy something, but I don't know what else I really need. I have been collecting parts for near 3 years to reassemble my car. The only thing I think I would buy to put away for a rainy day is a Turbo exhaust header from CB 😉

I notice now that EBay items are in Aussie dollars instead of US Dollars on many items...
shipping is still the killer unless You are buying foam or something that weighs nothing... lol
nothing I really need....

Just got a reply for CB Performance and they want $400 to ship $500 worth of parts. And they were small parts except for the turbo exhaust header. Not good and another loss to them.

Hi Chris
have You bought stuff from the USA by credit card ?
it can be impossible.... well, they can be impossible...
Credit card fraud is HUGE in the USA....
so, its not like here...
One place wanted a photo of My Son holding His credit card in His hand.... a few weeks ago...
PayPal is easy... I use it every week...
I notice Ebay has the USA dollar at 2 cents higher than AUS today...

Bad Luck Kev...
did You ask for the cheapest shipping method?
many of these big time VW shops do things one way....
and won't change.... anything..
UPS DHL etc are VERY expensive..
many smaller places won't ship out of the USA 48 states... lol
