Default SMART TOP--GROUP BUY!!!!

TMCQUELLEN put in some solid words along with others regarding this smart-top which retails for $645. I've requested a group discount. Please PM or post here to be included. I will confirm directly with you the final price which I'm sure is dependent upon the number of tentative buyers. Please only tentatively commit if you're serious. Regards...

I've requested pricing for 10 units (minimum) and 20 units. I should hear back shortly.

Default All in !

Ok, Count me in, I think what you should do is get the price, and have them give you a code for the pricing, so each person orders directly and you are not responsible for the money. The company then will ship directly to each person, and then each of us gets the warrantee.

Currently, they will provide discounts on a minimum order of 10, but if we go to 20 the discount is deeper. I'm awaiting an amount so I can pass it along to all that are interested prior to commiting completely.

Here we go fellas. This is where we are:

10 UNITS $569, shipping included (I believe U.S. only, not sure)

20 UNITS $539, " " "

I believe this is a good deal given the retail pricing. If we get bogged down between 10 and 20 I'll go back at it, but we may punt and do the deal. If we hit 20, I say we pull the trigger.

Here's it in action:
https://www.wilhelmy-it.de/sms/shop/...ew&idlistpos=1

Here is a list of all smartTOP 997 functions:

Comfort soft top control while driving: Within the factory-set speed limit the roof can be operated automatically with a short push of the open or close button. A feature that especially stick-shift drivers greatly appreciate.


********************************************************************
Remote top control: Operation of top and windows with the original remote on all models (US and Euro) by holding down the power-locks button. A comfortable one-touch operation can be activated as well. No extra remote fob or reprogramming of the key or car is necessary!
********************************************************************


The “Lock-In” feature locks the doors once the car starts moving. In contrast to the original Porsche feature which can only be enabled or disabled at the dealership, this feature is user-better, optionally the doors also unlock when the engine is switched
off and the key removed.

Home light XL: The Headlights can be activated for 30 seconds at any time by tapping the trunk button on the remote twice. Tapping the button twice again before the time runs out will switch the lights off immediately.

Trunk button delay: Prevents accidental opening of the trunk. If
activated, the trunk can only be opened by holding down the trunk
button on the remote for 3 seconds.

Chirp on lock/unlock: If activated, the alarm horn will give brief
“chirp” signals when locking/unlocking the car.

Comfort window control: All windows can be operated with no need to turn the ignition on. In the original condition, the windows are dead before the ignition is turned on and after it is turned off and a door is opened.

Simplified window operation: The rear windows can be operated without the need to flip the rocker switch, simply by holding the window button after a front window was opened/closed. Holding a button in the 2nd position (one-touch) for 1 sec will automatically operate front and rear window simultaneously.

User programmable: All features can be individually enabled or
disabled. Some also allow different personal preferences to be set. All settings are retained even if the car battery is disconnected.

Shop/Diagnose mode: If activated the smartTOP is completely passive, as if it was not installed at all. It becomes invisible to diagnostic tools.

Thumbs up

We're up to seven and need three more to get to the first break. Their rep has contacted me three times to follow-up. I'm impressed. They will issue us a code that will automatically provide the discount (royalpar1-you're right). Please e-me with any questions.

1. Black/Terra
2. Royalpar1
3. CL55
4. THPorsche
5. Billc23
6. allegretto
7. Silversteel
