Mate,

The dealer wants your VIN because if you tell them what you need and it ends up being the wrong part they've wasted shipping costs to get it to you so they just want to get it right to start with (Not a bad thing I think).

Secondly we get ripped off for genuine parts in Aus so buy your parts O/S and get them shipped down. Genuine parts are still much much cheaper O/S than in Aus especially with the dollar so strong.

I just got $500 worth of parts from ECS which would've cost me easily three times that much (All genuine parts). Shipping paid for itself and then some.

If you need a part quick then go to the dealer but if you're happy to wait definitely buy O/S.
