how are OEVeeDub and BFY as vendors? Vendor rating in general?
Was looking to get some parts and was wondering if www.bfyobsoleteparts.com
is an ok place? How about http://www.oeveedub.com? On a different note: how about we set up a simple applet on a web site someplace so we can give vendors ratings - when they do well by us we bump a good count, when we get screwed we bump a bad count. Whenever you query a vendor you get returned a rating. (like an ebay percentage rating) I'll write it, if anyone is interested. Remco |

I've bought from BFY several times and I have never had a bad
experiance. They shipped fast and packed well. They have a lot more than what is in their catalog. - Bob |

I was very disappointed with the quality of 2 out of the 7 parts I ordered. The exhaust gaskets were thin, cheap junk and the in-tank filter screen washer they picture as original was something I could have picked up at Ace Hardware for a nickel. Not something to get twisted out of shape about, of course, but a solid indicater. I wouldn't do business with them again. Regards, jb |

I haven't found BFY too impressive but OEVEEDUB has given me positive experiences. 99% of my VW purchases go to them,
Aircooled.net, or Wolfsburg West with the remaining 1% going to the occasional item I get from the local dune buggy dude.

Need some repair panels (1/2 rear body cross member where the heater pipe comes through and font firewall) and will check next week bug show but, if I can't find them, will need to look elsewhere so that's why the question was asked. |

I have always had good experiences with www.oeveedub.com
They have lots of German parts, but they are expensive. JP 73vwbttl |

Be wary of OE VeeDub because some of the parts are not actually OE
afterall. I inquired about one of their rear view mirrors they sell and found out that it is actually a repro made by one of the places in US. Other than that I like them, though.
