Default Stupid question...how much for new K03s?

Searching I found the price for used and every hybrid imaginable, but no new stock K03. Couldn't find any sites selling either.

Default New from Audi, they are ~$1500 ea.

Why would you want new K03s?

Default I knew that question would arise. I really thought they would be around $1,500/pair, not $3k!

I am planning for the future and what the cost acheiveable options were for K03 failure. When I thought K03s were $1500 I was considering K04 to be way too much...but now not so much.

There was someone here last week looking to sell new K03s. Don't remember handle, however.

Default K04s and inlet pipes used to be SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than K03s...

so it made upgrading a no-brainer. K04 costs have increased but they are still less than dealer K03 costs so upgrading when they fail is a wise move IMO.

Default More than just the obvious power issues, K04's are MUCH more reliable than K03's

Plus, I've noticed some problematic posts on the K03 hybrids but the K04 hybrids seem to be fine.
