Update - 21 Apr 2009
I've now put up the new updated prices inclusive of shipping. For those in QLD, SA & WA, I'm sorry there was not much else I could do to help you. We're now looking in into individual shipping to help you out.

Those in VIC, it makes more sense for us to group ship and since the price is firm, can you all confirm ASAP?

This Group Buy is currently for the following parts:

a) MITSUBISHI LANCER 08 S-TYLE FRONT BUMPER UNDER V-LIP BODYKIT.
Image
Cost: A$335.00 Shipped to Victoria AND A$355.00 delivered all others

b) MITSUBISHI LANCER 08 VOX STYLE FRONT BUMPER LOWER CENTRE LIP ON DIFFUSER.
Image
Cost: A$190.00 Shipped to Victoria AND A$205 delivered all others

c) Evo X front Bumper
Image
Cost: A$205 delivered

d) Evo X Side Vents
Image
Cost: A$205 delivered

Offer closes Friday 25 April 2009.

Details:
i) First proposed by leevin.
ii) Its like the one "franchise5star" has (the red feature lancer on the front page). Pics can be viewed here.
iii) These prices are for the part only.
iv) This is going to be a one off purchase and special price.
The dealer will NOT repeat this price and don't expect to match the price he gives us now, this price will NOT be matched in future.
The dealer knows this is a group buy so he has taken note that in future all orders from Australia will NOT get this price.

IMPORTANT GROUP BUY INFORMATION


Shipping
Shipping will be calculated by the dealer AT COST. He will deliver via DHL with INSURANCE. No profit will be made by the dealer on the cost of delivery.


To save costs we are going to group ship.
Since Victoria has enough orders for one set, they will be grouped together.
The rest of the states may ship individually.

I also like their bumper centrepiece that XDC wouldn't sell separately from their kit in Sydney.

GUYS. GREAT NEWS.
Ofey has contacts in Singapore so he can arrange postage for us (of course there will be a fee).
All i need to know now is how many people are interested? So i can negotiate the price of the lip.
PM me, reply to this post, let me know!

Keep us posted hey, really really want one of these :D

Hopefully it doesn't involve painting the bottom bit of the bumper too though and the middle bit simply covers that part up.

These dealers will always keep quoting you different prices. If you were running a business as your livelihood, you'd make money where you can and if you had a product, why let someone else make a cut of a profit which could simply be yours alone?

Now what I had planned to do was to actually purchase in bulk in Singapore.

My parents are still there so they can buy and then ship individually to anyone who wants one. Now we can save on postage since we will be simply charging what the going price for the postage is and no dealer premium which is usually their hidden bonus. You will see the postage label on your package when you recieve it to verify I have not made a cent off you.

The other saving would be from a local Singaporean purchasing.My parents would turn up and ask this guy to buy the part locally. Ask if there's a bulk sale price and negotiate for a better deal. Here's the other saving.

The dealer may be on the board reading what I've written and may then circumvent our attempt to save everyone some money but I seem to think that everyone needed an explanation on how we could get a better price.

Can I urge one and all in future NOT to question how the price arrives on any deal we are arranging but just consider it logically and if the price is right, don't ask how, just believe that the committee and moderators of Club CJ work very hard to make the best available to its members.

What's in it for me you ask? I too want to buy this part for the LOWEST price possible.

Ofey, could your parents make up invoice to say each one was $100AUD each, that way you could potentially get away with posting 9 at a time if the postage was roughly $100AUD?

That would get around import cost issues.

I'm really really keen for one of these. :)
