Rear in good condition are more rare as they rust more, front I guess is somewhat protected with small oil leaks from the engine.

This doesn't seem expensive to me. I bought one a couple of years ago from southern Italy, a reasonably rust free example. It cost me £150 landed in the UK. You add the cost of powder coating to that and, well I don't think its too bad anyhow.

Also figure in that the old bushes have already been removed. That is a real pain to do. Took me a full day to remove mine, and that was using Audi's official tools. I personally don't think its ethical to burn them out, not in a residential environment especially. Putting new ones in is much easier.

If I were you I'd buy it before someone else does and squirrels it away.
