It's hard to speak in generalities like that. I'm going to assume automatically that I can, but I need to know what you need to order, and their total including shipping. We have to look at things as the total of the invoice.....if for example a part is $100 on my website and $90 elsewhere, but my shipping charge is $9.00 and someone else's is $20.....well, you get the idea. For one or two or three part quotes, the website link is the way to go. For quotes on larger orders, it's best to send an itemized list to me by email at hondacuraworld@aol.com , with a link to the website with the lower price(s) along with your zip/postal code. From there, I'll calculate the order total and compare it to mine and shoot an email right back. Since I'm online all day in front of that email, I can turn around any quote pretty quickly I'll emphasize that it's important that you email with exactly what you need. If you email with "there's a timing belt kit on ebay for $150 can you beat it?", I won't have any idea of what's included in that price unless you provide a link. Also, this applies to genuine Honda and Acura parts, so bear that in mind as well

Hey Tim,
Sorry, I was too general. Here are all the actual parts I'm looking for and their prices from
www.parts.com:

1. #04711-SZ3-A90ZZ (Front bumper cover) .........$253.39
2. #50805-SZ3-010 (Rubber, rear tranny mount) ...........$174.48
3. #43022-SZ3-A01 (Rear brake pad set)..............$40.87
4. #72321-SZ3-900 (Seal, Front R Door)...............$13.89
5. #72361-SZ3-A90 (Seal, Front L Door)...............$13.89
6. #52622-SZ3-004 (RR Shock Absorber Bushing)....$18.84

Estimated shipping from parts.com is $79.30, totaling $594.66! However, if the actual shipping cost is less than $79.30, I'll only pay that amount. Let me know if you can beat these prices. All these parts are for my 2002 RL. Thanks.

Check the first post in the thread

To make it easier, we've instituted the price matching system on our website. In order to get a reply, you need to use the link provided. It provides for faster communication, so you won't have to wait for a posted forum reply or PM. The ability to check PMs or forum posts is limited at times because of time constraints......this makes it much faster and simpler.

It may seem like it, but in practice it's a lot easier to get everything nailed down correctly, both for me and for the customer, leading to a faster response from me, and a quicker product delivery for the customer. Here's what I mean:

1. It leaves no ambiguity to the process.....basically you're saying, Tim, here's a link to a cheaper price, can you match it or beat it? I respond in short order, and we can close the sale quickly.

2. It avoids confusion of people searching posts for pricing that ends up being inaccurate. I get at least half a dozen emails/calls per week on the RDX rims special that Acura offered about a year ago, for example. Or, if Acura decides to change pricing wildly, as they did back in the spring in the aftermath of the earthquake in Japan, I simply can't offer things at the prices that they were at before.

3. Most importantly, I'm by the phone every day, available by PM (checked as often as time permits here), and also by AIM and email. I try to be as easily reached as possible through as many different ways as I can. I'd even thought of doing parts quotes by text message, but I don't think I'd be able to keep up

Now, for the door visors, shoot me a link to the place that has it for that price, and I'll be glad to make it worth your while to do so.

I certainly don't expect people to do the research, and then come to me just to get the same price that they were offered elsewhere. Admittedly, there are times that it can work out that way....for example, if you've got something that you can get for $10 shipped, and my price is say $11.50, chances are the profit margin equals about a half a turn on the gumball machine, and there's not a lot I can do. There are times when there's a closeout or some situation where someone offers a part below cost just to get rid of it. But that's more the exception than the rule.

I've been selling parts online and a member here since the pre-Soopa days of Snook (I actually used to ship for autocarparts, which is why he didn't want me posting here back then)....offering parts online since November 2000. Those of you that know me know that I'll always do my best to work with you in any situation and on any price that I reasonably can.

I hope that helps a bit in clarifying things. I apologize if it seems like extra steps, but the easier I can funnel such requests into a process, the faster I can respond to those that ask

Excellent question. There's a couple options here:

1. All packages that ship to Canada that will fit within weight and dimensional guidelines are shipped via USPS. Depending on where you're at, I usually say to allow 7-10 days for orders shipped from our location in Phoenix to reach you. Much of this is customs dependent. I've had a few orders in Quebec recently that were held in customs for a week, but some orders fly through in a day. We of course use USPS Priority International for such shipments, and provide order tracking.

2. For orders too large to be sent via USPS, we use FedEx International Economy. Unfortunately these are not sent with duties and taxes prepaid. If a shipment must go this way, we'll contact you and/or let you know before the order is sent.

3. If you're in Ontario, and get to the Buffalo NY area, you're always welcome to pick up orders at my home, near the Galleria Mall. I'm around all day every day, and can be flexible about weekends and evenings. In fact, if you want to ship anything here, that's completely fine.....I've had everything from Science of Speed clutch kits, to complete transaxles sent here that people bought on eBay, purchases from Amazon, or such. Just drop me an email, and let me know that something's coming....from anywhere but one of my competitors .

Of course I don't charge anything for any of that, however for packages that are half the size of my garage or if you've got a dozen parcels you need shipped to my place, Sleeman's is gladly accepted

Now of course I don't stock parts here, so plan about a week in advance of your pickup date. If it's decent weather and you ask nicely, I might even help you install it. I have a garage full of tools

If you can send that link I'm in for these as well. I know a few people who would want to buy as well so maybe we can get a nice deal?

As long as it's from a dealer, it shouldn't be a problem. The exception would be for what that particular dealer would call obsolete inventory, or something written off. I'll do whatever I need to, except sell at a crazy loss

I try to avoid posting prices directly on the forum, as they do change over time, and it avoids the "you advertised them for $X" calls I get, when the post referenced is a couple years old
