The consensus of folks on the list is that Parts Place is an excellent
place to purchase VW parts if you like throwing money away on shipping, and
have endless patience for avoidable errors and poor customer service. I
received their catalog, and like the *idea* of "recycling" VW's...the
concept is great, the execution, (at least by Parts Place) leaves something
to be desired.

There are a number of reputable VW Parts vendors on our beloved 800 person
mailing list, selling everything from camping tents to crankshafts. Go to
www.vanagon.com and see the vendors list. Mention this e-mail and they'll
give you a 50% discount...well, maybe not.

Dear List,

I'm wondering what people think of The Parts Place in Auburn Hills, MI as a
source for Vanagon parts. The catalogue presents them as a friendly outfit.
Anyone have any experience with their competence, prices, quality, and
service?

Thanks,

Woody
