.... and Dave Elite had a moan about others having a moan.

Might be more productive if Dave Elite used his 'talents' correctly to get something that he wants, rather than moaning that someone is not doing something to help Dave Elite while Dave Elite sits on the sidelines doing the square root of naff all about it, other than moan!

Just rang balance motorsport, and he said he will do a discount, he is getting back to me later today to let me know what the discount per unit is.

Right, cheapest I have up to now is £32 for a set of wishbone bushes ie 2 front bushes and £24 for a set of anti roll bar bushes, thats delivered to me so there will be a little bit of postage to add from me to you. I'm still waiting on a few more prices yet

[Dave Elite]

Balance motorsport got back to me. This was the reply.

HI David
There is just one Bush for that application

Front Wishbone Front Bush     2          PFF80-902    
Ex. VAT:       £20.85
Inc. VAT:       £24.50

so each pair retails at £49

40 sets £49 = £1960 inc vat retail


25% off = £1470 inc vat

thanks
Julian

I'm going to get back to him to try and get more off....

[Elite Pete]

I've got Eurocarparts trying to beat my quote of £32 per set at the moment

Ive got balance trying to beat £32 as well

[Dave Elite]

I asked if they could beat £32 and got this response

what shipping charge? Who quoted that please? perhaps I can ring powerflex and see how come they are getting a bigger discount than us!

I'll email it you but I wouldn't tell them as it might get our supplier in the do do and he might not supply us but Eurocarparts quoted £34 to start with

[Dave Elite]

I emailed balance motorsport again to ask if they could beat £32 and got this.

sorry no it's an insane quote  whoever it is is devaluing the product by selling at cost price. Either they are dodgy, desparate or simply not able to use a calculator ! :-)
thanks for emailing but when you start talking about making 0% margin clearly as a business we cannot survive on no profit at all!
thanks
Julian

[Diamond Black Geezer]

wow! Thanks for getting the prices down as much as you have, guys.

Maybe try and find a failing business that just wants to clear out whatever it can before the baliffs come round? 

[Elite Pete]

Rightyo, i've just had a call off Eurocarparts in Chester and negotiated a price of £31.54 for a set of 2 front wishbone bushes and £23.44 for the two anti roll bar bushes. It will take between 2 to 4 weeks to make the bushes and they need paying for in advance because they are made to order. I'm willing to go to Chester to collect the bushes and post them out but there will be a small charge for jiffy bags and postage but this will be at whatever it costs me. So there you have it

[aaronjb]

Sounds pretty good to me.. in fact, on that basis, stick me down for a set of ARB bushes too (might as well while I'm in there, eh!)

I'll have both, when do you want the money?

[Elite Pete]

I've told Shaun at Eurocarparts i'd let the list run another week so that if anyone is on there jollies they can catch up and then i'd start taking the orders off those that are interested
