Claw Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 We got 10% off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12sechatch Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 ^through whom? Did AVO facilitate it? Or was it direct with DAMD? In other words; who do I need to contact in order to make it happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12sechatch Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Looking at AVO prices, taking 10% off of that, the prices that I can see are roughly (hopefully they can do better than 10% off of MSRP): $430 for a round $450 for a flat-bottom $530 for a carbon round $540 for a carbon flat-bottom I'll get in touch with Paul from AVO USA and see if he can help.

Rester5350 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 It looks like msprank did a gb in 2010, maybe he can help? Do you have to be a vender to put on a gb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12sechatch Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I'll talk to Mike too then. I believe you do, but that isn't really relevant as I wouldn't be "putting it on" anyway, just poking certain vendors to inform them of this want/need.

12sechatch Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 After talking with the AVOjdm rep, he is willing to offer us a group discount code. Here are the details: For 6 orders the parts discount would be 5%. For 10 or more orders we could do 7%. Due to the size of the package that the wheels ship in there would be no benefit in doing bulk shipping as the size of the box becomes very big so each order would be shipped as per our normal shipping method and rate on an individual order basis. Not as good as I had hoped, but better than nothing. I might be able to counter offer if we have a good amount of people committed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strizzy Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Here's the old GB thread for reference: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/gb-damd-steering-wheels-05-2010-144619.html My bad luck build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rester5350 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I would like to see a better discount, if we can't get ten or more people I'm not sure if its worth it for me. That being said, I can put down my deposit if that will help facilitate the gb. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see a better discount, if we can't get ten or more people I'm not sure if its worth it for me. That being said, I can put down my deposit if that will help facilitate the gb. I hear you. However, with that said, it appears our current pricing would be cheaper than the previous group buy....if that matters at all. For instance, if you just want the round leather one: with only 6 people (5%) $512.85/shipped vs the old GB $549.86/shipped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12sechatch Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Here are the proposed prices (assuming my math is correct). Remember, 6-9 people = %5, 10+ people = 7%: Flat Carbon retail: $609 5%: $578.55 7%: $566.37 Round Carbon retail: $588 5%: $558.60 7%: $546.84 Flat Leather retail: $504 5%: $478.80 7%: $468.72 Round Leather retail: $483 5%: $458.85 7%: $449.19 Shipping will probably vary depending on your location. It also appears shipping is based on cost, as it looks it is roughly $54 for one wheel and $96 for two (shipped to Seattle). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssbtech Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I'd love the round carbon, but I don't know if I can swing $550 for a steering wheel right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12sechatch Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Everyone wants cool stuff until they realize getting something at 80% off isn't realistic. sigh Everyone: "I'd love to see another group buy!!!" Me: "Here is another group buy, even CHEAPER than the last one!!!!" Everyone: "oh, you were serious about making this happen? i was just kidding" I've been wanting to get steering wheel controls in my car for a while. I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a $330ish OEM wheel + the cost of controls. I'd much rather spend an extra $150 and have a smaller diameter, better feeling/looking wheel. Hopefully we can still get people.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I just have to decide if I want an D- shaped or round one? How many people are committed as of right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12sechatch Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Just the guys in this thread so far, but I have not marketed this project outside this thread as of yet. Looks like 4, maybe 5 people in here are interested. Out of those 4 or 5, I would expect 2 or 3 of them to actually pull the trigger. I'm assuming once I start making other threads, we'll be able to get 4-8 more bodies. stay tuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lingling1337 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Really want this shiz but I'm buying wheels and tires soon. If the gb hasn't started/ended in a couple of paychecks I'm in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobyscoodle Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 What about the GTSpec version? Isn't it cheaper? I've seen it in person next to the damd, completely identical sans "damd" embossing, which you barely see anyways. Either way, I'm probably in, I miss the one I used to have.

12sechatch Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 ^find me a company that sells 05 wheels and not just the 08-09 ones and I'll do the leg work. I would prefer NOT to have the embossing anyway, but I can't find early model year ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12sechatch Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 ^^specifically the Gt-Spec wheel, not DAMD. I can't find the 05-06 Gt-spec ones. What is going to end up happening with this group buy (and I will start a thread here soon) is that once we get enough people, I email the rep for AVOjdm and he gives me a coupon code. I then PM everyone that signed up with that code and you put your order in by yourself. That way there will not be a deposit and/or me handling any of your funds, it will go straight to them.

scoobyscoodle Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Yea, forgot gtspec doesn't make the early years. My damd was on my '06. I would gladly get another damd, that thing improved turn-in, cornering speed, lateral grip, and even added a few hp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
