Default Talk to me folks. What group buys would you like to see? Wheels? Exhaust? Springs?...etc. Talk to me

It's time to really start doing some mods around here. Tell me what mods you would like to do and let's see if we can get some group deals going. I already know a vendor who is willing to work with us. We just need some direction.

Ideas:
Wheels/Tires
Suspension (shocks & springs, coilovers)
Exhaust
E-code lights

others...

good idea, but would it fly with a dealer? Would they do it Europe?

They pay MSRP for the most part over there.

Default Actually...

Dealer tries to sell it for MSRP (of course), but you can get between 3 and 8% cheaper by negotiating. If you're stupid or lazy you'll buy MSRP.

I once bought 2 cars with a friend (one for me, one for him) and the dealer was happy to make a special price...all he cared about was sell 2 cars in one effort.

Our dealers don't have lots, btw. We can't go out and have one wrapped up They'll have to order every car and we've gotta wait between 6 weeks and 6 months, depending on the brand/model.

I second the wheels choice and also think the e-codes lights would be cool!

Default That's right...the order, then the wait...

I've heard for some German cars, it takes longer for an order made in Germany than here in the US. Some cars with huge wait times were the MB SLK and Porsche Boxter.
I guess my 3 month wait isn't too bad!

Default Hmmm...that's unpleasant, especially if you live in a high-price country

like Switzerland, where people drive over into Germany to get better deals. Used car prices were ok over there...never priced new ones.
