Sounds like you basically stole it. Used OEM racks go for $200+ here on CL.

I've got 4 nice rectangle marks on my roof from the previous owner's roof rack. Blasted things!

Even after claying the paint, polishing and waxing, they're still there.

awesome price. Really about the dealer though? wtf? Maybe try takin it in to the parts department and showing them? I find it hard to believe you're the only Audi owner on the planet who's ever needed one

I guess try calling different dealerships or source it online.

Although the rack is OEM, they don't come stock with the car. In which, it kinda makes sense if they don't carry a replacement part for it. Perhaps try aftermarket companies such as Thule (which is the company that makes the the OEM racks) or Yakima.
