This report is good.  I recently searched the busdepot.com site for some
'96 Passat parts.  The parts I was looking for did not appear on the
regular listing under the application section for the vehicle BUT the
search field showed the parts in the database.  A phone call confirmed a
valid part number and ability to order at the listed price.  The fellow
I spoke with commented that "These are not parts we usually order but we
can get them in 2 weeks and you should see them in three weeks."  I was
pleased to see a package 2 1/2 weeks later containing the exact parts I
ordered.  First I was impressed that the database contained parts not
listed in the regular application listing.  Second, I was impressed that
they could order them still.  Lastly, I'm impressed that they arrived
when stated AND I received the 5% list member discount that I requested.

Thanks to Ron and Busdepot, my Passat now has a new grill, grill
emblems, cup holder and door handle seals all for about the price of a
new grill from another source.
