Many of the importers we deal with also carry parts for all Volkswagens, or even all imported cars. Many VW car parts can be found on our website (you'll see that the drop-down vehicle menu includes pretty much all VW models), but we can also get much that isn't there. Best is to email a parts request so that we can research pricing and get back to you. The discount will be about the same as on our Vanagon parts, and assuming our distributor has them, we can typically get them in a day or so (or even have them dropshipped right from the distributor if you're in a rush). If you have a part number available (i.e from another website) that is a great help but not absolutely neccessary. Also if you found a particular price on the part elsewhere let us know, so if we get quoted too high we can put the screws on the distributor for a lower price. (I know when I'm getting ripped off on a Vanagon part, but can't say I know the market value of Jetta parts offhand.) Generally, common mechanical parts are easy to get, but body and interior parts can be less likely, as most of the import distributors don't carry them. (We import our Vanagon body parts and rubber directly from Europe.)
