Dell, as always, your advice is invaluable! Thanks a ton.

Ddog, if we can get a group buy at Dell's prices ($249), put me down for the SmartTop, else I'll stick it out and see what happens.

 

 

dell
what was the dell you guys got a few month ago?
we need to call them up and tell them renlist ppl are PISSed

 

pl....See post #28 in this thread.

 

i can talk to sven again.

 

sorry for not pay attention to old posts:
so smart top was $199 shipped.
now they want $399 - $30 = $369 plus shipping?

very bad.

 

Actually, you misread Dell's post unless you're talking about a Boxster. $199 was for the boxster. $259 is for the 996.

 

I love both the SmartTop, for the reasons Dell states .... AND the RemoteTop ... for allowing me to open the top as I approach the car in the parking lot, and close it as I walk away (or even from inside Starbucks if it starts to rain). Its all in the eye of the beholder, I guess. I've tended to do fewer of the cosmetic mods that a lot of guys here love, but I'm sure they each think each mod was a terrific improvement. To each his own.

As for price, there seems to be an advantage to jumping when you first see their products ( I first spotted each on Ebay). I paid $249 a year ago for the SmartTop and $269 several months ago for the RemoteTop (shipping included). It appears to be just the opposite of the usual premium one pays for being a "early adapter".

 

Kim is spot on. The best price was in the early days. Finally, us early adopters were rewarded. Still think they are WAY overcharging for this product though.

 

$259 -> $369 ?????
still, too bad they start rising price like this!

 

I am really happy with my smarttop and remotekey, bought them in a bundle with a helping toolkit. It takes about 10 minutes to install both in my boxster.

I paid 500$ for both - really cheap compared to other modifications like chiptuning or bodykits and other modifications.

 

I'm in for the SmartTop... no wait... oh sh*t, never mind... I have a coupe!
I just know that one of these days I am going to be able to participate in a Group Buy!

 

Oh Tim. We will find you a group buy one of these days. Just wait till I get to NC this summer and get a hold of your car (and wallet). Watch out!

 

I'd be in for both!

 

seems like the"deal" could be sweeter
