So, I know that a lot of folks don't really like AA here. Thats fine.
I've not yet used them, but I want to be able to comparison shop for some items.
However, I can't figure out thier pricing sceme.
For instance, the first item in thier 914 catalogue is "914-6 collapible Oil Return Tube" It is listed as R930 107 040 00
Where the heck is the price?!
At the end of the catalogue, they mark what is avalible, but again, no prices. I emailed them the other day and did not get a responce.
Anyone here know?

Go to the bird site, look up the price and double it
I ordered a printed catalogue from them as well, and I called them with the very same question, and was told that the website has the up-to-date prices. That really defeats the purpose of a printed catalogue.
Where on thier website? I have not seen proces there either.
One wonders how they manage to sell goods if thier prices stay hidden...
I like Pelican, but its frusterating there too, as it seems that at any time the piece I want is in thier catalogue, but out of stock.

The AA website sucks. You have to navigate through pages to find your item, then click on the item to get the price.

Look at it from their perspective. Glossy catalogues are expensive to produce and prices can change in the blink of an eye. In my most recent previous car life I had a Triumph TR250. I used the Roadster Factory a lot. They used the same concept, nice catalogue, separate price list. I think that AA ought to print a price list or offer a PDF on their website, but I don't find it all that unusual to separate price lists from catalogues, particularly for foreign cars where suppliers are often overseas and dollar/euro, dollar/pound or dollar/yen exchange rates can fluctuate significantly.

Right, but we know that catalogues have a date printed on them, and prices are subject to change. I think most of us just want something to look at when we are not in front of the computer. |
that's funny ron, b/c that's exactly where you go to find a catalog in my house........
Also good for.. and cleaning up
I hate to say it but I find their web page confusing and difficult to navigate. I've stopped shopping with AA because I can NEVER find what I want. I'm sure they carry the stuff I'm looking for... I just never find it. Try a key word search... and it takes you to some unknown place.
Sorry AA... just my opinion.
Interesting link. If you look at the oil return tube prices, and you subtract the price of the collapsible one from the price of the OE one, you get the price they're paying for the OE one. The markup on the collapsible tube is 50%, or so. The markup on the OE tube is 500%. Your friends at AA ...................... The Cap'n
Some of their seal prices aren't bad you have to compare item to item with the other vendors. They are local for me so no shipping costs. They have some nice 914s on the lot which they are very proud of ($$), like their parts.
I don't care about their prices or the catalog. I think it is just safer not to deal with them.

If you figure in all of the feedback that they have come to deserve then their prices should be of no concern.......you wouldn't be ordering from them!
