Subject:      Syncro shift knob now obsolete according to VW dealer. Have one
              on Ebay.

Hello Folks,

I advised a few friends on the list not to bid because I thought I could get
more if needed. I ordered a couple more of these knobs under the assumption
that they would cost as much as I originally paid. Apparently, I got the
last in VW's inventory in the country. They tripled the price compared
to what I paid last year. Yikes!

They are now on the obsolete parts list. Still have the one on Ebay for sale
as listed below.
