I knew it wouldn't be cheap..shokan is pricey. Price you pay for odd parts being in stock.

How soon do you need the part?

Not in much of a hurry, I've sent out quotes to a few local general junk shops around the city and am going to wait on their reply before I commit to anything haha, it does seem to be a pretty odd part, for the 99 A4 at least..

I'll keep my eyes open for one at the junkyard, but I don't have plans to go soon. Maybe this week actually..we'll see.

Don't worry too much about it, but thank you very much for the help! If my local yards don't have anything I will probably just suck it up and drop the cash for Shoken's, haha..

No problem, just feel bad having someone pay $150 when I could probably snag it for $10. :p

You might want to search ebay too. I see a few hits matching the part # alone, and the part might be on there somewhere without the exact part # entered in the description.
