Hi guys,

I have a couple of options to buy these intercoolers at a really good price depending on how many of us put our hands up.

Thought i would throw this up as i am about to purchase one for $880, but with a group buy of 5 people the price drops to approx $800.

With a group buy of 10 we would be looking at a price below the $750 mark.

I can do more work on the price i'm sure!!

Boost blitz, Hi octane and mod your car are the options. Once i get a firm number of buyers i will then start to firm up a price with one of these suppliers.

This will be a saving of upto and possibly above the $130 mark for possibly the best intercoolers for our cars. (JZZ30)

How it will work: We would have a club list with them, where you would quote our group buy by calling them directly and they will put you on our discounted price list. Give them your delivery address and card details and they will send it directly. The coolers will not go through me, just from the supplier to your door.

I am only throwing this up just to see what sort of numbers we can round up. If no interest is shown, i will only make a single purchase.

Mate, aren't these for sale on ebay at that price? Around $700-750?

I cannot get through to this supplier to specify the intercooler. As you can see he does not advertise for JZZ30. Also what are his freight charges cause the other suppliers mentioned that the freight would not even be a issue, the cost would be minimal. I will keep trying him.

Just thought i'd get an idea for numbers so we can start looking into it a little more seriously.

Modyourcar is so stupidly over priced its not funny! Even if you did get a super deal out of them, it would only be a marginal improvement over retail elsewhere.

Also, not trying to rain on your parade, but I think you need to adjust your approach slightly. You need to tell us what the price is now, not mess everyone around with what you think may happen in the negotiation stage later on.

"Guys, I have already talked to a supplier, and if we get 10 ppl together I can supply product x at y cost" is a much better way of doing it. Telling us what you think you may be able to do with pricing after you gauge potential interest is a waste of our time, and yours. For eg you get 14 ppl here wanting to get on board, then you find out the best price isn't what we all had hoped then we all feel let down!

As a sales rep, having dealt with car parts, power tools and now food, I see a lot of this type of stuff every day. Retailers aren't stupid, they know ebay is taking a significant slice of their business away, ergo most of them are adjusting prices to become more competetive. The flip side of this is that there isn't as much scope for negotiation on price as there once was.

Ok now that my rant is over, go back and do you home work. Who ever you buy them off is paying the same cost from greddy wether they order 5 or 20, so wether we get 5 or 20 ppl here wanting them the group buy price shouldn't change. If it does, you need to negotiate harder!

As i have already stated very clearly, the prices above are so far what has been offered!! I did not pluck these figures out of my bum!!

I have already done my home work and the going rate for these coolers is $880 from three suppliers, and unknown from ebay as they obviously dont stock them or just dont advertise it.

Ben, cause your so well informed as a sales rep, you would know that i have no serious buying power without the numbers on paper.

The prices above are a guide to let you know that if your happy with $750, join in and i can probably get it down more when i have serious numbers and buying power.

I run my own business my friend and pissing in peoples pockets while you have no clue about your purchase power makes you a fool. As a rep you should know this cause i deal with reps on a weekly bases. E.g I tell the rep "i can definately get ten sold whats your best price", i would be a liar and an idiot, cause if i dont sell ten or one for that matter, guess whos not doing business with me again?? And i look like the fool.

Right now i have negotiated $750 per unit for the sale of ten units. If your interested feel free to put your name down. After i get serious buying power i will squeeze the best price i can. Money talks.

If no interest is put forward that is also fine, as i was going to do the running around anyway, anyone who puts there name down loses nothing!

And where not 5 years old, so dont get your hopes up like ben says, its not worth the stress. Put your name down if your happy with the starting price. If it doesnt work out i will let you know and you lose nothing.

Also this is not true! You go buy 4 rolls of toilet paper, or 8 rolls, the unit price for the purchase of 8 rolls will always be cheaper than the 4 rolls. This is across the board for everything you buy on planet earth, including intercoolers!!

Description fits, but I think it might be a generic pic. The end tanks are all wrong for the Soarer.

That is definitely not the correct image. Check this out for more substantial details.


Good observation though.

the KKR ones are the best, they retain the stock piping and fit stealth style under the bumper support bracket. and $300 dollars cheaper.

Hey Josh,

If your still interested in a Trust spec Ls. I will be making a purchase shortly. Do you still want one??

As for the group buy idea, obviously not enough interest put forward, i will be making a single purchase soon.

Cheers
