i can get a new radiator for 199$ should i take it
QUOTE Chuck : The part itself costs $199 with a lifetime warranty and $179 with a one year warranty. We can get you wholesale rates on labor, assuming you went with our installation centers. That's about 1/3 what you'd pay at the dealer. Would you like me to get you an exact labor quote? You : how much for the parts Chuck : We have installation centers all over who give us preferred labor rates -- on W Wooley Rd, Santa Monica Dr, and Victoria Ave. If you'd like, we can call them and get the best labor rate for your job and get back to you in a few minutes via phone or email. Would you like us to do that? Or you can call now and speak with our installation specialist Jerry. He's at 888-252-1313. You : 93035 Chuck : Ok. Price on the part is coming -- What's your zip code so I can check on the closest installation center to you? You : install to Chuck : good. You'll be putting in exactly what you pulled out. Lifetime Warranty and drop-in fit. Do you want quotes on just the radiator -- or installation too? You : oe style Chuck : OK. Would you prefer quotes on an OE Style or aftermarket radiator? You : 2.0 Chuck : Do you know the engine size? You : does it matter? Chuck : What year is your Porsche 914? this is in reverse order (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Oh this is too damn funny!!!! Their message board is totally automated... Here's the excerpt from my "conversation" with "Chuck"... == Chuck : What year is your Porsche 914? You : I doesn't matter, all 914's were made with air-cooled motors. No radiators... Chuck : Do you know the engine size? You : never mind... Chuck : That's no problem, I think we can at least get you a price without that information. Would you prefer quotes on an OE Style or aftermarket radiator? == I had to stop then... It was too much like arguing with voice mail... -Josh2 |

here is mine.. you sick effers beat me..
Chuck : I could sell this to you but the 73 914 was a little tricky. Your best bet is speaking to George, our lead Porsche technician (or one of his techs), to verify your radiator. he always figures out the right one the first time with just a couple questions. He's at 888-252-1313, but is on the phone now. I can have him call you back in a minute - what's your phone number and the area code? Chuck : There are a couple of different radiators, ranging in price between $99 and $299. All run about 1/3 what the dealer charges. Hold on -- Chuck : Oh okay. We're right in Riverside and delivery to Corona every day -- hold on a second while I pull up the price-- You : 92882, ASAP Chuck : Your price is coming. Looks like that 73 is a really complicated fit. I'll just quote you the most likely 1 of the 3 possible parts -- Or you're welcome to talk to one of our Porsche techs to be 100% sure. What's your zip code and how soon would you need it? You : just the rad Chuck : good. You'll be putting in exactly what you pulled out. Lifetime Warranty and drop-in fit. Do you want quotes on just the radiator -- or installation too? You : OE Chuck : OK. Would you prefer quotes on an OE Style or aftermarket radiator? You : 2L Chuck : Do you know the engine size? You : 73 Chuck : What year is your Porsche 914? |

Chuck : What year is your Porsche 914?
You : '74. Is this the UFO site? Chuck : Do you know the engine size? You : it's a 2 liter, but really i'm trying to find the UFO sighting to see if I truly saw aliens Chuck : OK. Would you prefer quotes on an OE Style or aftermarket radiator? You : DAMMIT CHUCK. I'M TALKING ABOUT ALIENS! NOT RADIATORS! Chuck : good. The aftermarket fits and cools just like OE Style, but you'll save some cash. Do you want quotes on just the radiator -- or installation too? You : Where is the UFO sighting forum? Chuck : Your price is coming. Looks like that 74 is a really complicated fit. I'll just quote you the most likely 1 of the 3 possible parts -- Or you're welcome to talk to one of our Porsche techs to be 100% sure. What's your zip code and how soon would you need it? You : next week is fine Chuck : Good. We deliver into every day, so we can get that part out to you as soon as you need it. Let me pull up the price here-- Chuck : There are a couple of different radiators, ranging in price between $99 and $299. All run about 1/3 what the dealer charges. Oh wait, hold on one second, let me double check that application... Chuck : Yeah, you know what, I've heard some horror stories about the 74 914 radiators not always fitting right. Our main priority is always getting you the right part the first time to avoid the hassle of shipping parts back and forth. If you're thinking about price, there's nothing to worry about since we price match all the time and have a 30 day low-price guarantee. To make sure you get the right radiator, your best bet is to talk to George, our lead Porsche specialist (or one of his techs) @ 888-252-1313. He's on the phone right now, but I can have him call you back in one minute. What's your area code and phone number? You : Do you carry any Ferrari hoses? Chuck : No problem-- We've been here 20 years, and aren't satisfied till you are. If you'd like, I can put a note in our system, so if you decide to make us your last call, we'll know to beat any price you find. |

Sorry, but I've gotta get in on the action. Read bottom to top as ussual.
Mark D. You : COME BACK JACKASS!! YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO FIND A RADIATOR FOR A 7L 914!?!? Chuck : [Chuck has left the chat] You : Does that mean you can't have my radiator to Willow Springs in fifteen minutes... I need 45 to put it in Chuck : Thank you. We'll always be here whether you need a radiator or just free advice. Bye! You : I think not. Chuck : No problem-- We've been here 20 years, and aren't satisfied till you are. If you'd like, I can put a note in our system, so if you decide to make us your last call, we'll know to beat any price you find. You : dealer? Chuck : There are a couple of different radiators, ranging in price between $99 and $299. All run about 1/3 what the dealer charges. Oh wait, hold on one second, let me double check that application... Chuck : Good. We deliver into every day, so we can get that part out to you as soon as you need it. Let me pull up the price here-- You : 95 7liter 914 is a complicated fit? I don't doubt it. I need it in fifteen minutes. Got a race starting! Chuck : Your price is coming. Looks like that 95 is a really complicated fit. I'll just quote you the most likely 1 of the 3 possible parts -- Or you're welcome to talk to one of our Porsche techs to be 100% sure. What's your zip code and how soon would you need it? You : Oh, you sell OE cylinders, eh? Chuck : good. The aftermarket fits and cools just like OE Style, but you'll save some cash. Do you want quotes on just the radiator -- or installation too? You : Would you prefer to bend over, or shall I? Chuck : OK. Would you prefer quotes on an OE Style or aftermarket radiator? You : 7 liters Chuck : Do you know the engine size? You : 95 Chuck : What year is your Porsche 914? |
