Feeler: Group Buy - Thor Skid Plate/bellypan - US import

Postby mycarsavw on Thu Jul 16, 2009 10:24 am

Morning chaps!

Just a feeler to gauge interest first...

GB Details:

This GB is with Evolution Import Inc and is for their "Thor Skid Plate For B5/B5.5 Passat"

They also offer Skid Plates for other VAG cars so I presume there's the potential to include these in the deal - I'd have to check if people are seriously interested.

We initially had the option to buy a Tuftrayz metal pan but I missed out on getting one (didn't spot the thread until yesterday!) and they don't appear to be making them any more.

Discount & Shipping Details:

CB5 wrote:If we can get 30 people, it will be 15% off.

1. Everyone CAN pay individually, we don't need one lump sum.
2. Payment can be made via Mastercard or Visa.
3. They prefer individual shipping, which works out better for us as well.
4. No free shipping.
5. Everyone can personally speak with Neil Thibodeau @ 250-963-3232 or e-mail him at info@evolutionimport.com.
6. Tracking numbers will be provided.


Prices:

RRP - $249.00
Discount - 15% - possibly more if we get more takers.
Shipping - $70
Import Taxes - TBC

Rough initial prices are $281.65 + Import taxes (TBC) - at today's rate that's about £170.00.

Any questions on the product should be answered by the links above, any other questions post them here and I'll do what I can. If you're interested, bung your name down and I'll edit this post with takers.

Thanks :)

I'm not sure how long they'll honour the price, but chances are it'll remain open for a while.

I hear you on the bunnies too, my last incident was a freshly-killed badger - not a pretty sound, sight or smell.

Sounds good and better than the steel ones that are quite heavy, but I'd warn you on tax as the tax is charged on the full cost of the item and postage. There will then be a 25 quid charge by customs and a fee by fedex for handling it. Probs your lookin at 60-70 quid on top of the 170

I didn't hear back from the sellers by the time the US GB went ahead.

It's probably worth shooting an email to Evolution directly, mention Passatworld and see what deal they can do you.
