Feeler on OEM Euro S4 Rear Bumper possible groupbuy

[wakko]

I am getting the information from another thread in VWVortex

Basically, its the S4 rear full bumper Euro version for the B5 A4/S4 groupbuy with TMTunning. Here is a picture for reference:


The deal is: $540 / bumper
3 bumpers: $25 discount, $560 (total shipping for all 3)
5 bumpers: $25 discount, $890 (all 5)

So the cost for each bumper should roughly be
3 bumpers: ($540 x 3 + $560 - ($25 x 3)) / 3= $702 per bumper
5 bumpers: ($540 x 5 + $890 - ($25 x 5)) / 5 = $693 per bumpr

With 2 other buyers, we could be able to get it for ~$700. This is local only as the bumeprs will be shipped to CA in the same crate.

Current list: total - 3

Wakko,

why dont you join us at the Hasting Ranch meet? its really close to TC!

[wakko]

Guys, I am still waiting for response from TMTunning. They are quite slow in responding emails -_-

[wakko]

Alright I just got a reply from TMTunning and discussing on the final group buy detail. Shipping cost overall will be $20 coming to CA and there will also be 2-5% custom fee + airport handling ($20-30) fee. The bumpers will be dropped off at the LAX airport and we will need to pick them up from there. So the 'new' math is

Bumper - $540 x 3
Shipping - $580 ($560 + $20)
Discount - $25 x 3
total - $2125 US for 3 bumpers

Fees - US custom: 2-5% + airport handling
(paid upon receiving the package in airport)

Whoever interested in the bumper (tbone5446 & ElSnake), please PM or email me your contact information. I am finding out the payment method with TMTunning.

Sushi, since you are all the way in SF, I am not sure how it can work out if each of us are picking up our bumper from LAX (most likely the option). PM me if you can figure out a way to resolve that problem.

Any way to drive that shipping price down lower? I may be interested, but I didn't think landed cost on these things was so much. I realize we're dealing with a weaker Dollar now, but still...

[wakko]

I doubt it with the shipping price. Thats what has been quoted from TMTunning. If we are getting 10+ bumpers, then it may go down a bit more.

[DisBeAliG]

FWIW, it shows TMTuning will be at Dubfest. Wakko, if you're going, it wouldn't hurt to talk to their representative in person? Just an idea...

[ElSnake]

shit, bump/pm

[fatezero]

I might be interested if we can get the price under $700

[wakko]

[wakko]

Got the latest information from TMTunning with pricing update. If ANYONE still interested, please let me know ASAP.

The price right now with 3 bumpers is $728 per bumper + the custom/airport fees.

[wakko]

Missing one more person to get this GB going. anyone?

[Tfreestyle]

have you guys tried contacting other suppliers for this bumper to see if you can get it for cheaper?

[Audi S4 Turbo]

I'd be in if that included painted. I know wishful thinking right?

[wakko]

both buyers backed out so its really back to zero T_T.

Tfreestyle, I tried to contact local suppliers and most aren't willing to do a GB with 3 people.

We could assist with one if there is any interest left...
