I have about 50 spare steering wheels for Jetta's, Passat's, GTI's GLI's,
Alpina for BMW's, Porsche this and that. I have steering wheels coming out
of my donkey and have no desire for any more. I sold of bunch of the whhels
you mentioned for $25 each.

You are in the bidnezz of VW auro repair. You get plenty of good deals. You
are a wealthy guy as far vehicle resources are concerned. Besides a 'good
deal' is a relative term. I try to help poor struggling Vanagon owners with
more affordable spares when possible and when I can afford it. Not 'dissing'
you, as they say, but my spare non-leaking PS rack is reserved for the next
poor soul who wanders into my neighborhood bleeding hydraulic fluid.
