I know exactly what you mean Del, it drives me mad !!!

Every time I'm researching or looking for something I will have D4 bits listed as well for way much less !!!

My understanding is that since D3 was superseded by D4 in 2010, D3 parts are rarer ?!?!?!

For example 2-3 years ago Facelift Tail lights were 200 to evan 300 Euro cheaper than at present.
Some German supplier I dealt with displaying the RRP of 500ish Euro crossed over and New price of over 800 Euro.
There are only 2 suppliers still selling them for around £560, where well over 2 years ago I was able to purchase a brand new set from Germany for £420 in DHL Express delivery without a hassle.

Mad mad mad.

So this is mu understanding.
Usually parts for older cars getting cheaper and cheaper over the years.
But in A8 case, which isn't such a popular car, these parts rather going up.
