Hi. I'm Scott and I once bought a part from AA... and didn't get what I ordered....
...but the catalog had some parts diagrams that helped (and it only cost $5)!

D@mn.

Here's a good AA story....

I ordered a new MPS from them. Was $650. Seemed like an excellent price. They shipped it out, made in France version, and it wouldn't hold vaccum.
Spoke with the rep, said he would proptly send me another. So I get another one in. This time it's a rebuilt unit and new invoice of $650 + ship.
I call him on the phone and explain what happened. He said no problem, send it back (at my expense of course), and he will personally insure I get a NOS one. So, I send back the failed unit and rebuilt unit. I recieve yet another invoice for $650 + ship, and yet another rebuilt unit. Well, that went back too and I filed a dispute with my credit card company. Took about 4 months, but it is finally straightened out.
Odd thing is, on other occassions, I had no trouble. Must be who you get over there.

[name one item unique to AA...]  Steel flares for $950.

Uhh, excuse me???

"Porsche 914-6 GT Steel Reproduction Flares - set of four PEL-AA-914FF $925.00"

Well, I suppose you're right--when you get them from AA, they are $25 more... I'm sure you could send us the extra $25, though, and we wouldn't mind.

Yeah, I know they're not in the main part of the catalog. But a seach for "914 flare" will turn up the above. This is the \"add to shopping cart\" link.

Here's a good acid test,

-First time I was working on the 914 I had to order some parts, nothing to big but for some reason I ordered some parts from PP and some from AA.

PP- some fuel lines, brake lines, bleeder valves, oil strainer gasket....

end result-all parts in stock, at my door in 7 days.


AA- plug/wire set, cap and rotor set, and bosch sp-plugs.

end result- 3 weeks later nothing arrives. I call, order was lost...but guess what, it appears on my C Card!! after I called to the CCard company. 2 weeks later plugs and wires arrive, then a week after this...the rest comes.....took 6 weeks total!, Pissed me off to no end.

Never again.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) Why don't you put all this stuff in the catalog then? You could have made $925 ... Sorry but i don't have all the time in the world to find out what is not in the catalog. I barely find the time to work on my car. Need to work to pay my AA bills ...

I'm not in charge of the catalog.... (Or much of anything else, for that matter!) Good thing, too--or the catalog would be as out-of-date as the 914 FAQ!!

As to why they're not listed in the regular part of the catalog, I have no idea.
