Group Buy on Bilstein Shocks - 45% off!

[MJM Autohaus]

Greetings,

To kick off 2009 and to last through January 31st, we will be hosting a group buy on Bilstein Sport and Bilstein HD (Heavy Duty) Shocks. Pricing will be 45% off Bilstein retail price as seen at www.bilstein.com and UPS ground shipping will be $25-$30 to anywhere in the Continental United States - location dependent. Canadian shipping with USPS Priority will be a flat rate of $65.

THE GOODS:

Bilstein Shock Absorbers offers a proven design in technology with a superior manufacturing process and a commitment to quality control. Bilstein has received worldwide acclaim for quality shock absorbers that have set new industry standards. Setting high standards has always been a top priority with Bilstein and a consistent set of parameters and performance guidelines go into the development of each Bilstein shock application. All Bilstein Sport and HD Shocks include a lifetime warranty.

FAQ:

Q: Will this offer be for any other Bilstein products?

A: Not as a part of this group buy, but be sure to PM us about a great deal on Bilstein Coilovers or Bilstein TC Shocks. Our deals on PSS, PSS9, and PSS10 Coilovers and TC Shocks are equally as good and very well be better than you've seen elsewhere.

Q: I am in the Austin/San Antonio area. Can I pick up my shocks to save on shipping?

A: Absolutely. Anyone wanting to save on shipping can certainly walk in to our store front and pick their products up in person.

Q: I am outside the U.S. and Canada. How can I buy? What is shipping going to be?

A: International ordering is welcomed, but we ask that you first read www.mjmautohaus.com/international before sending us a PM for any international inquiry. For international shipping quotes, please contact us via our site at www.mjmautohaus.com and a sales rep will reply.

Q: When will this offer end? I need to get Bilstein Sports today and do not want to wait for this offer to end. You say it ends January 31st, but will you send my shocks before then?

A: No, this offer will end January 31st and that is when all shocks will ship. Anyone needing their Bilstein Sport and Heavy Duty Shocks before then can certainly get a set at a great price, albeit, not at the advertised 45% off Bilstein retail price. If you're in a rush, simply contact us through the forum for a price quote for shocks.

Q: I'm looking for just front Bilstein Sport Shocks. Will I receive the same discount as those purchasing front and rear sets?

A: Yes, the 45% off Bilstein retail price will also apply to front only or rear only sets. Shipping will approximately $15-$20.

Q: Will you charge my Visa or Mastercard immediately or when my product ships?

A: We will not charge your card until the group buy is over and your shocks are shipping out of our Texas warehouse. PayPal users will obviously have to pay us at the time the order is taken and there is nothing that can be done about this.

Q: Can I have my shocks sent to my buddy's sister's friend's shop? That is where they will be installed.

A: Unfortunately, no, we cannot ship to any address other than the billing address you have listed with your credit card. We apologize for the inconvenience. The same will apply with PayPal payments.

Q: I might need strut mounts or shocks mounts when installing my Bilstein Shocks. Can you supply these, too?

A: Absolutely. We stock a good amount of strut mounts, shocks mounts, bushings, strut boots, and more. Supplying any of the above would not be a problem. We highly recommend doing mounts at the time of doing new shocks.

Q: I need a quote for the 45% off on my model. Can you give it to me?

A: Take a look at www.bilstein.com for the quote for your vehicle. The pricing for this offer will be 45% off Bilstein's retail price. If you cannot find your vehicle listed, please contact us through the forum and we'll give you a quote. Shipping will be either $25 or $30, depending on where you're located in the lower 48 states.

HOW TO ORDER:

To get in on this offer, send us a PM here and a rep will contact you via telephone to get your order in. We accept Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal payments from confirmed and verified accounts.

So, according to your site, they are listed at $474.95 for the B5 S4 so less 45% would bring it to $261.22.

Is that the case?

If so, do you have any combo deals with springs?

BTW, the B5 S4 pricing for Sports will be $460 - shipping included (lower 48).

So is it $45.00 off or 45%?

That is what I am wondering....

This is the worst sale thread ever.

45% off Bilstein's advertised pricing is the way I understand it..

that's what I thought but the seller says "BTW, the B5 S4 pricing for Sports will be $460 - shipping included (lower 48)."

[///M3 TO S4]

$460 is a shitty deal....if they are $261.22....now we're talking.

I don't know where that number comes from, but 202 times 4 for the sport shocks is 808, times .45 for the discount is 363.60, plus whatever shipping is, 25-30 dollars within the states...

[RedRocketS4]

^^ incorrect math buddy... 45% off would mean you need to multiply the total by (1-0.45) or .55 to get the proper amount. so...

202 x 4 = 808
808 x 0.55 = $444.40 for the product
$460-444.40 = $15.60 for shipping

Edit: please, don't take offense to this post.

Well thank you for clarifying

That's really not a bad deal.. it's less than a few places for a set of 4 Bilsteins Sports..

I was thinking 202 for a set.

[Tokin]

This is the worst sale thread ever.

No, APR's holiday exhaust sale on AW was the worst ever:

See top post (Deleted)

EDIT: Just realized it was deleted. Gist of it was APR offering $10 off an $1100 part.

Its 202 for a SET, front or rear, not individually priced.

I'm not sure where you got 808.00 from anyway. They are 489.00 normally (on their site) for a full set(front and rear) http://www.mjmautohaus.com/catalog/i...6198_6831_9856

[mholme]

Really? Are you sure? I can't see that anywhere on bilstein's site and I've always bought them or any shock/struts priced individually?

45% off Bilstein's pricing, which is 202 a pop(I still think it's a pop) on their website.

[TPC303]

http://www.awe-tuning.com/pages/shar...einSportShocks
On AWE they are more but not $808.00
Like I just just posted they are 489.00 a full set on their own site.
http://www.mjmautohaus.com/catalog/i...6198_6831_9856
So I'm gonna guess its for a pair

[Tokin]

You can guess that but its wrong. They are sold separately. Bilstein's MSRP is $808 for a set - but that doesn't matter at all because he already said the GB price is $460 shipped.

[JD797]

eh, tirerack and ecs and stuff is similarly priced without a limited time sale

[TPC303]

so then why do they advertise the for 489.00 on their site for a full set? So it's a $29.00 sale? And tirerack has them for 118 each. So......

[Tokin]

$29 + shipping...hence the comments regarding this being the worst sale thread ever. Still a great deal overall though if you need shocks at the end of the month.

It's a decent sale I'd say. I really don't know of any body else that can do 460 shipped on these.

Not really that great of a deal. Hence the disappointment in the comments

[mholme]

Sports are 127 each front and 118 each rear at tire rack so 490 a set before shipping(RedRocketS4, check my math!)

At ECS, they are 495.95 a set before shipping.

Not a bad sale..

[fatezero]

All I can say is I PM'ed them like 4 weeks ago for pricing for brake pads and shocks and it took them 3 PM's and 3 weeks to get me a price. I think they only have 1 guy working there

What do you mean, it took them 3 PM's to get you a price, or you had to PM them 3 times on here before they noticed? I could see the latter happening. I've never done business with them, but I know they've been around a while.
Was the price any good when they got back to you?

[MJM Autohaus]

You guys are too much. 45% off Bilstein retail price - not real hard to figure out, fellas. Whether you feel like it's a $5 savings or a $75 savings - IT IS A SAVINGS. If you'd like to pass on this group buy and feel like it's not worth the effort, no problem and no hard feelings. Plenty of folks haven't and we do Bilstein Shock group buys about once a year and have never had a problem with a complaint that 45% off retail was a bad deal.

But hey, if you're comparing our group buy price to our every day pricing on them, then yeah, it may not seem like much. What can we say, our pricing is already great on them 365 days a year. FWIW, we've been buying and selling Bilstein Shocks for over half a decade now and know what they cost, know what they sell for, and know who sells them for what. You're not going to find anyone advertising Bilstein Shocks for 45% off retail (including us any other time than in an annual group buy) so yes, it's a relatively generous offer. For those that want in, great, we'll get you taken care of. For those that want a free set or want additional discounts, I'm sorry that we cannot help you out more. Paying more than 45% off retail price from another dealer is also an option for those that do not want in on this offer.

Also, for those wanting to do front shock mounts at the same time, we'll be throwing them for $12.50 for the set. That is for the set, not each.

[fatezero]

I PM'ed them about some HAWK pads and KONI FSD's for my S4 (at the time, I did not realize they did not make FSD's for the B5) and asked them for a price. A week later they PM'ed me and said do I want a price for buying them together and I said "yes". Another week later they PM'ed me and said that they were really busy and short handed and if I was still interested. I of course replied back yes but please just give me a price. Another week later (3 weeks later from the 1st PM) they replied back saying that Koni didn't make the FSD for B5 S4 and the brake pads were $130. I was like " it took you 3 weeks to give me a price on pads that I can get cheaper from ECS and to let me know that Koni doesn't make FSDs?"

Another week later they replied and was like "oh, sorry....we are really busy. ECS must have just changed their pricing".

Not trying to bad mouth them at all, I am sure they were really busy. However, I decided to just buy what I needed from ECS as their service is A++ in my book and worth any difference in price.

You're right, it wouldn't be real hard if you clarified it better. Obviously most of the posts in the thread that YOU started were questions to the actual price. Just post the damn price like every other AZ advertiser instead of making us guess.

What part did you need clarification on or what question did you have that isn't already answered in the FAQ?

Yup, no doubt about it, you were misquoted on the pads. You were then re-quoted and it was less than what you claimed to have ended up paying. You've obviously already received your pads so that's all that should matter. We hope you're enjoying them. And yes, we certainly stay busy around here (hence the 1AM post right now). Let's keep this thread clean of anything not relating to Bilstein Shocks, please. Thanks.
