I recall getting an email saying Auto Atlanta was having a 20% off sale on Saturday the 17th too. You won't promote it, so I will. Your email alert service has saved me money, thanks George.

Got my '69-'73 911 half shafts from him at the last one. Very competitive prices. Was able to complete my conversion to 911 parts from transmission flange thru wheel hub. No more trying to source 914 CV's that won't stand up to my -6! If I weren't on a little camping trip to the sandbox, I'd be ordering some 911 mirror bases and backing plates today...

Of course it would help if their website actually worked. Every time I try to click on a part to get the description/price I'm getting an error message that www.autoatlanta.net cannot be contacted. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

This sale was my only negative experience with AA. Last year I inquired about a rubber kit a week prior to the sale and the salesman said it was included in the sale. A week after the order was placed I call to find out the status of the order and was told this kit was "already priced so low we cannot include it in the sale". The salesman said customer service was supposed to call and inform me. In my case, pre-confirming the sale price didn't make a difference so my advise in ordering is to be aware not everything may be included in the sale. This is not to discourage any buyers since it is an excellent opportunity to get a substantial discount.

and that is the confusion yes. We had stated that the sale priced items did not count. We have such a sloppy inventory system and so many sale packages from time to time that we never know what someone will find. I remember this incident from last year. The regular rubber kit was around 715. and we had a blowout kit with fewer pieces for a sale price one time when our rubber man sold us a blowout load of it one time. We just could not discount the sale rubber kit price because it was already heavily discounted from a one time blow out.
Things happen like that here because we continually try to be everything to everyone, ordering as little as a .28 cent washer if someone wants, all part of my SCREWED UP philosophy of being the chief enthusiast for the enthusiast!
The smart way to conduct business is just like the old automotion performance products or tweeks. Limited inventory, all new, very limited genuine from Porsche,stock this limited inventory, fire it out that day with no backorders, remove the things from the mass mailed catalog that do not sell, send the catalogs out every six months. Put up a website with this all new limited inventory on an easy to order shopping cart system, still have all of the technical expertise available, and have a money making venture! Stay tuned.

I am sorry that you along with many others have had a problem with our sloppy be everything to everybody, service, we are really trying harder.

Dave by the way thanks you for all of the orders he got today. They are all contributing the the "Save the Dave" fund (ask him about the results of his MRI!!!!!!!) (no he is not going to die)
