Been pricing up a new MAF for my LCR.

Looked on euro car parts...£86.65 here
Then thought id have a quick look on ebay....£169.58!!! here

Why is there such a difference in price? It is exactly the same part right????

I expected Ebay to be cheaper to be honest, and did see a couple at a more reasonable price, then spotted that one!

Also, a lad i know works at Seat garage and he had told me to expect to pay around £200!!

So, is the ECP one just the same part and the ebay and stealers one are just rip offs??

this is why many people make a fortune on ebay, - ie many presume it will be cheaper.
Often ebay is expensive.
Or you can find prices on a part varying massively on ebay.

an other example is £40 splitter for the LCR.. plus postage is commom on ebay. A £20 part from any dealer.

then either you friend is silly, or very out of date,
you will pay about £85 - £90 from a dealer. (exchange and may bhave more comeback..
