I think I would buy the parts from Tim just because I know there is ZERO risk ordering parts from him. If I have a problem with the order its nice knowing their is a person I can call or email who will respond quickly and help me solve my problem.

Just curious though, how do these guys get parts for that cheap?

How much are the shipping charges from autocarparts.com? These prices are not that much cheaper, if at all, from the ones they have posted, but I don't know about their shipping. If it's not that much more it probably isn't worth the headache.

All I can say is you get what you pay for. I know of a large number of people on the TL board who have purchased from other vendors just to save a few bucks and got screwed. Wrong parts, long delays...well you get the picture. I have purchased all the Comptech parts you see in my signature from Tim and everything has been perfect. The man will bend over backwards to make it right.

So the next time you order something from an "approved vendor" and a month later you're wondering why your order is still in transit, or you receive it only to find parts missing, broken, for a different model car, remember Tim.

I am not saying you have to buy from Tim at http://www.autocarparts.com, but here are a few thread from the TL board praising his customer service. And go figure, one was started by your fearless leader.

Oh and no, I'm not being paid for this endorsement.

Since these sales will be going through me, I will make sure everybody knows exactly when they will be receiving their parts. I will buy the parts with my money if I have to and make sure they go out to the customer. Tim is running a great business, but if we can get better prices, with reliable customer service.. I don't see what the problem would be.

I wish you the best of luck...

You do realize, however that if I were to buy everything on the list from you, I would save a whopping $74.54...that based on a nearly $2400 order..Do you really want that hassle.

No disrespect Spiroh, just trying to figure out why you are going to all the trouble you are.

NSXNEXT,

You are incorrect. You did not add the shipping charges that autocarparts.com adds. I did the math. You would save $178 if you bought all the parts through the person I know. Maybe $178 does not sound like much to you, but considering the fact that a lot of people are in a tight bind, that extra $178 can be put towards something else.

Damn NSXNEXT: That's a funny first post you have in this thread: "This isn't a prop for Tim" (but it really was).

Had me LOL anyway.


Btw, I will always pay a little more to ensure I get the proper part and it's in good condition.

However, $178 is more than "a little", but then again, I'm not buying everything on the list.

Thanks for trying to get us stuff cheaper though, that is always appreciated. I am still interested in exhaust and sways.

Keep it friendly, guys.

Spiroh,

Not trying to rain on the parade or anything, but is this wholesaler guy an authorized CompTech dealer? I've heard that CompTech will not honor the warranty if the headers aren't purchased from an authorized dealer.

Some of the people that do these group buys are just out to make a quick buck, so if their is a problem you are basically SOL.

I just don't want to see anyone get taken like one of the infamous AEM CAI intake group buys that happened awhile back where 30 something people got took for around $170 a piece.

Definetly count me in for springs then, maybe sways. Are these parts available as a one-time offer or will they be available for a long time?

Tw,

Yes he can get them. I need a couple of days to set this up. I rather buy the merchandise first, so nobody has any lag time. I will be out of town thu-sun, so when I get back on Mon, Hopefully I can work everything out with this guy.
