Default Replacement Coolant Overflow Tank for 98 - Dealer only?

I'd hate to give them another dime. Any other options?

Default I agree, its like 40 bucks and usually those internet sites give you free shipping for stuff over 50

so buy some coolant while you're at it!

Default Just purchased my third tank

it seems to let go by the upper return line? purchased this by the locol stealer since it was only 37.28 no tax and he had it in stock! it pays to sometimes stop by talk to the parts guy.

Default wow, I've never had a Audi parts salesman ever give me the "good" price on anything.

I've always had to ask for a better price. Hell, they gotta make enough $$$ from people with warrantees or people with more $$$ than brains. They all know I wrench on my own car. You'd think they would give you a chest bump or somethin.
