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 |
Hi Euro 911, thank you for your help and giving me the full details, unfortuntately the shipping is way more than I expected, 250 USD is a lot of money....I was kind of hoping to keep shipping under 100 dollars, I don't mind slower shipping, not a problem...I had a guy in California ship me a complete BMX bicycle to Japan here for 65 dollars by ground or sea mail and it took almost 2 months to show upbut was cheap (He used the post office and not Fed EX or UPS) I wouldn't mind that way as I am in no hurry to install these flares.......second bad news thing.....my friend who wants to send payment by PayPal on my behalf is in Europe......I could ask him to send a bit more to cover the service charges and that might work but the shipping is just a lot of money......
I noticed George mentioned if I order more he can ship those as well, would he be able to fit a matching set of rocker panels for flared car and a rear valance and maybe some small parts like rear back up light switch, rear license plate lights and some shifter bushings??? Thanks so much for your help Yes, sorry I am in Japan. I wish I was back home but there is where work has sent me, its a nice country to live in though but no 914's here |
