The final number of payments at end of business today will determine the final cost, i have 6 payments right now, the discount structure is listed on the first page and the price breakdown is posted on this page, $553 is retail, right now we are at 10% savings.

Everyones shipping amount will be slightly different for obvious reasons and this will be determined tomorrow when i run the payments. This was explained to everyone that has confirmed payment and everyone thus far has been ok with the process i am using.

Gunner, what is your e mail addr? i did not see an e mail regarding cable shipping, if i have your addr i can search for it easily. The cables come in a fairly large box, i am assuming shipping will be $20/$40 in the lower 48 depending on location, shipping into Canada will be slightly more.

 

Derek, will search it and resend, thanks!



PS email resent!

 

I've had this mod for years. Love it.. It turns the gears into something like a springfield rifle bolt. Its very solid and not subtle.

There is slightly more noise - noticeable mostly in neutral. Engine sounds like its knocking a bit with clutch out. Thats the absence of the rubber ends. Otherwise a sublime upgrade.

 

Just did my payment with Derek. TRG is well-known guys. I was number 9. Need two more for the 13%. Come on guys!

 

Another well known forum sponsor, Carnewal, can offer:

"P96/P97 Cup Shifter Cables Will fit any P96/P97/P86/P87/P87C with manual gearbox.
Includes the parts you attach the cables to the standard or short shifter."

for ~$100US less than this "Group Buy".
Product is in stock, shipping is 3-4 days.


I'm out!!

 

i called in for the group buy and paid, i am #10

 

1Gunner does have the right facts on Carnewal's price and availability, listed directly on their site. How about it Derek. Price match seems reasonable.

 

I hope the message does not prevent the 11th buyer from paying.. or it will screw the 10 people (me included!) that have already gave the credit card information.. !!

 

I do not know where Carnewal sources their cable( they are in Belgium), i can only assume that when parts are shipped to PMNA they incur duties/taxes and shipping that drive the price up. The Carnewal price is more than $50 less than my cost on this package.


I am purchasing all of these parts from PMNA. At a 13% GB discount I am giving up 90% of my 15% margin, meaning i am making 2% on each transaction in this GB. It simply makes no business sense to to go any deeper than that, there is nothing "weird" going on, as 1GUNNER stated.



I was approached by a member about starting this GB, I worked out the #'s and came back with what i could offer, plain and simple. TRG is not trying to make a "quick buck" as one member seems to think, that is not what we are here for. I cant argue, the Carnewal price is great, i wish i could match it, but losing $50 plus on each order would not go over well at all.


As of now, I will call everyone who has submitted payment in the AM(8-1-12) and see if they would still like to proceed, as everyone who did submit payment knows, i have not processed them yet.

 

Explanation works for me. I am still in.

 

Guys, I import from Europe. UPS, pallets via air and 40' containers.
Duties, Custom clearing and possible additional inspection fee's really add Up.

I just don't like the additional cabin noise with the LWFW....

 

I've ordered Porsche parts from Gert before and have never had any issues.

I understand Derek's point totally, especially as a Canadian seeing same parts in the US far cheaper than Cdn suppliers can provide.

Sorry to bring this on so late in the game, but I put it out there as due diligence and simply in fairness to the forum and in the spirit of "group buy" values.

@TRAKCAR... you really think you could hear Cup cable noise in your car?

 

Gunner, I have absolutely no problem with you bringing this info into this thread. Thats what this forum is for, the betterment of the community. I was asked to support this group buy and i did for the same exact reason. I do however take offense at the insinuations you threw around without having any knowledge of my supplier/pricing structure. You brought good , useful information to the group as a whole, myself included, you could have left it at that.

 

in
sure gunner meant no harm

derek, I applaud u for willing to call follow up for potential refunds bravo

 

+1 on offering to follow up!!
I didn't think through some of my comments, for that I apologize and have edited them out.
