Just read where he is offering $100 for complete brake caliper cores. Perhaps "complete" is the operative word here. Con cuidado.

where did you come across this news? $100 per or a set? is "rebuildable core" contained in the fine print? do we get paid upfront and the buyer pays shipping? oh...can we charge shipping AND handling and impose a re-stocking fee?

I'd rather give mine to Eric for free








Or is it 100.00 per caliper ?

Trying to choke PMB?

Maybe Eric partnered with him.





Yeah. That's prolly it.

We sell lots of rebuilt calipers, and we don't get nearly as many cores back.

Ok, I'll bite ....

Front and/or rears?

Single and/or dual bleeders?

$100 per pair or $100 per each?

Waiting breathlessly for answers!

I bet you have to ship it to them first and then you get low balled

Ain't gonna happen! CIF** + Freight

ripper, what is the core charge when you buy calipers from AA?

According to his online catalog, the Core Charge is $100

Ok, I have a set of front and rears cores so how much for them???

I don't know the details... I'll ask.

I have enough spare cores (front, rear, 911, etc.) that I would gladly trade for fiberglass bumpers.
How do we arrange that?

Stu

i see a core value drop. ship them off quick fellas.

Hmmmmm .... like the WCC05 Free Lunch.

Check the thread on the AA site:

Its $100 a pair for COMPLETE REAR cores + your shipping cost to them.

I did a brake job on my sons previous mid 90's era VW passat.
The rear caliper looked really similar in size, shape etc, and had a mechanical ebrake just like a 914.
I never bothered to look hard at the swap potential cause it was a late night emergency fix for my son.....but I remember thinking that it looked like a bracket needed to be made for mounting, and then you could use center rear rotors...

Might become a solution as the available cores start to become more and more scarce.

Hence the "con cuidado". The Latin version, just for your Doc; "Sit vendit cavete ".

or its non rebuildable and you have to pay the return or trust the assessment and let them scrap them out. right...

Hablo Espanol

Ha ha ha [knowing laugh] Awww.... I reached over to give your post a little thumbs up but there's no little thumb there.

Alright...

Rear caliper cores, early or late. $50 each

Fuel pump cores $50 each

2 or 3 port (early/Late) ?

He just said fuel pumps, I'm sure we need both types.

Well, I for one am glad to see such improvement in communication from AA

so...$50 per for a REBUILDABLE core that is COMPLETE less shipping, time and gas. no thanks.

k

If you shove a bunch of them in a flat rate box you could end up with some cash to spare after the shipping charge.

Send us your calipers and fuel pumps! Or send them to me for free and I'll sell them to George...

is that cash or AA store credit?

I have 3 rear calipers. Where do I send them and how/when do I get paid?

-Britain

And now, we wait

BINGO! Give the man a cigar.

And King George is below rebuilder market value on cores.

If you send in your cores we will send you a check!
If you would prefer store credit for future purchases that is fine also.

Send in those calipers!

You send them to:

Automobile Atlanta
505 South Marietta Pkwy.
Marietta, GA 30060

I'm sure you will be paid in a timely manner, I'll keep an eye on this operation just to be sure.

If you have any other questions feel free to call us at 1-800-792-4944 or 770-427-2844 You may also want to call to let us know if you're sending them in...

Or of course you can post them here or send me a PM and I will get answers as soon as I can.

Is anyone else having issues with the site doing weird stuff like the above ?

yes.

no.

yes.

Why not send them to PMB? He has a better reputation

Huh.

Why is the time in your quote of my post 4 hours earlier than my actual post.


Did you changes time zones?






Do you have a time machine??

My brake caliper cores go to Erc but I do have some fuel pump cores that have been laying around forever.

Is this deal (fuel pumps) a going concern or was this a "testing the water's" thing?
