Process West Stage 1 Intercooler - Group Buy?

[camo86T]

Hey guys anyone interested in doing this?

or anyone need to offload theirs so they can upgrade to stage 3...???

[genuine honest person]

mate of mine would be, for a fg

[camo86T]

interested in the group buy or offloading?

[ratter]

I have done this in the past, can check it out again if there is enough interest

[camo86T]

Ratter, any idea of what sort of price they would go for a group of 5+? I was thinking core only btw

[ratter]

not even going to speculate on pricing or whether Kev would do another group buy but the last one we organised turned out very successful because the prices were very good and we sold over 20 maybe even 25

I'd be keen if we got a good price.

problem with group buys, like cruises every one is all pumped until it is

time to show. I'd imagine a serious PIA for any one trying to organise one

add chasing payment, delivery etc.

Understanding there are third parties/agents pushing gear as well

a business needs it's lead times within which to work.

What the tuners lose on product in mark up they should make

up on the installation and tuning side.

Probably easier for Kev to organise a national group buy and pricing IMO

He see's his national demand and capabilities.

That gives the customer the best possible price given greater scale.

He knows his costs timelines etc, also broadens his reach and people can use their

tuner of choice where ever they maybe.

The more variables the more possible f/ups

If it were me I wouldn't put brakes on success.

No reason you can't have fitters and tuners of choice as part of the package.

My opinion only

Let rip

[camo86T]

They've been done before, though looking through the threads I agree that when its time for hands to go in pockets is when the fun starts for whoever the poor sod is trying to arrange it...which makes me think, maybe I should've been a bit more cautious when naming the thread, sort of looks like I've put my hand up lol...!!

With your suggestion were u thinking of Kev doing an ebay type deal, with a special price once a min number sign up?

As far as tuners go, we can already buy direct from process west anyway, and upgrading the cooler = tune required anyway so they aren't really losing out.

For many of us its about sourcing decent parts as we can afford them with a gradual buy-up, and obviously the most cost-effective way to do that is to go direct where possible, and do the install and get the tune done when we can

As mentioned above I'd be keen on a 2nd hand stage 1 core but they r fairly rare!

I got mine in the last group buy, all things considered, it was a good intercooler kit with not too many fitment problems and everything went straight forward with payment and delivery.

the best way to do it is to get a non refundable deposit from people interested that way they can pay the remaining amount at the end to get their cooler.
