DEADLINE for this one: DECEMBER 14th 2007
But another one is in the planning for February/March 2008 time-frame Payments that are still enroute will be deposited when received, then when they clear (approx 1 week) the total order payment will go off to George (hopefully by 12/26 or 12/27/07). ----------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATE As of 12/20/07, we're still holding at 15 14 Participants have PAID (P) 1 payment negotiation is underway in Georgia (..?..) [b]Well, this is it for this 'buy': (P) 1. Mark S. - euro911 (P) 2. Tom - wilhelm (P) 3. Jeff - Jeffs9146 (P) 4. Ben - jaminM3 (P) 5. John , drive-ability (P) 6. Albert - languenero (P) 7. Byron - EVILGENIUS13 (P) 8. Chris - my928s4 (P) 9. Jose - atsealevel914 (P) 10. Garry - sixgt (P) 11. Wes - Wes V (P) 12. Chuck - gerziebaker (Pick up yours directly from AA) (P) 13. Jamie - nsr914 (You did it dude) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (P) 14. Steve - Porcharu ..?.. 15. Shelton - shelton ( (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) If you & George reach an accord, pick up yours directly from AA) ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Recap from the previous episode: OK ... for those of you who missed the last one (including me), here's your chance to get in on the NEW deal. I PM'd George and asked if he was up for another one of these events ... and he replied: "Always Mark. making a 914-6 gt clone is the RAGE these days! The current deal would be ten sets one check 650 per set plus shipping 49 states 50 dollars shipping and if they wanted to add some other parts reasonably light and regular sized the shipping would not increase. We will ship to each individually." I just spoke with him on the phone too, and as you can see, the new deal is a departure from the earlier buy of only 6 sets to qualify, so this may be a little tougher to get lined up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) George's Guidelines: * Minimum order is 10 sets ... Cost: $700. each ($650. + $50. shipping ea. CONUS) ... This is a savings of roughly $350. from the current catalog price ... only $650. (no shipping charge) if you can pick up directly from AA * The entire order will need to be paid for with ONE check ... I created an escrow account to deposit your payments and I will write the check to 'AA' * Shipments would be individually sent out to each participant's address. You can post here, Post on NARP, or PM me (at either place) if you're seriously interested ... PM me for my phone number if you want to talk to me personally. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Answers to questions(11-4-07): 1. Since we're getting close to having 10 committed participants, I contacted George again to check inventory (+/- 40 sets are available now). 2. As soon as we confirm we have 10 committed participants, I'll post a due date for the payments (tentatively, it looks like mid-December). 3. Payments ($700.00) will need to be made out to me, so I can deposit them into the account. Payment Options: * Bank Check * Money Order * Personal Check 4. Please send your payment(s) via 'Certified Mail', 'Signature Requested' (this protects each of us). 5. When all the payments 'clear' here, I send 'AA' a single payment for the total amount due and I will provide them with a spreadsheet with all participant's contact/shipping information on it. 6. When the payment clears 'AA', the flares ship to the address you provided me with. I've provided current participants with my contact info ... so feel free to send me a PM, e-mail or call me if you have any questions or need to change anything (like your contact/shipping information). ----------------------------------------------------------------- Here's some eye candy to help with your decision: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) (My wife isn't an easy sell when it comes to me buying Porsche parts, but this is the pic I showed her ... and got her approval on) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Attached image(s) |

914 guy in Japan Group: Members Posts: 1,182 Joined: 7-November 07 From: Nagoya, Japan Member No.: 8,305 Region Association: None |
Hello, I am a brand new member here and have an old 72 914 I am just starting to work on and want to fix up a bit and restore while giving it a look close to the old 914-6/GT cars. I most definetely need a set of these flares, but right now I don't have the funds. If you were to have another one of these group buys say in the spring of 2008 I would mostly definetely sign up and order a set.....would the shipping include Japan as well?
Also that Euro911 car is incredible, thats truly amazing!! Are those the same flares or OEM ones? How do these repro flares compare to the real thing? Thank you for your help. Please let me know if there are plans for another group buy in the near future, thank you Jamie |

Konnichiwa Jamie ... and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png)
I believe this is the third 'Group Buy' on flares (but don't quote me on it). I wasn't involved with the previous 'group buys', nor do I see me getting involved with another one (yet). We currently have 9 committed participants, the 10th participant is hoping to be ready by mid December 2007. This qualifies us with the bare minimun requirement. As for the silver car pic, that came from the Patrick Racing site (meaning: it is not MY car) ... but my POS could look similar after emptying my wallet for the flares, suspension upgrades, nice tires and wheels, paint, etc. Yes, they are steel construction and from most reports I've received, they are fairly nice reproductions of the factory original flares. The $50. shipping is only applicable in the Continental US, the costs would be more to ship to Japan ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I'm almost certain that someone else will arrange another group buy in the future, but keep watching this thread ... there may be a possibility that this particular buy could stretch out into early 2008 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
