Has anyone seen a better price then $5899.00 on the Greddy TT with the intercooler. This offer also has free shipping. Just curious because the less I have to spend on this the more other stuff I can buy!

 

Just my $.02 - you should look at a little more than the absolute lowest price you can find on an item in this industry.

If you are buying from someone who is not an authorized Greddy distributor then you could be in for a brutal surprise down the road. Greddy will not honor any warranty or support you in any way without a receipt from an authorized distributor. So when you need help or warranty it just may not be there.

Ff you are buying from some no-name shop that is here today & gone tomorrow, its not going to do you any good if you ever need assistance and they aren't around to help.

Buying from authorized dealers (of any product) is crucial for future support. If you want to get your stuff from some part time shop that never answers their phones it is certainly your right. But in my 5 years of doing this I have taken dozens upon dozens of phone calls from customers expressing regret (and many with horror stories) because they were initially concerned about saving a few bucks.

Best regards,

Dusty

 

V8 Killer...stop scaring everyone. I hate to break the news, but Greddy won't warranty almost anything on that kit. THey will likely claim that it was from improper installation or whatever....the instruction manual is FILLED with disclaimers about this.

I would, however, recommend getting it installed at an authorized greddy dealer, so they can get the technical support they'll need. Your price is very competitive. I think Bobowah has a kit for $5800 and $1500 installation in the LA area.

 

My post isn't to scare anyone, its to tell you the truth. I've been an authorized Greddy dealer for about half a decade. I've had dozens of items warrantied for my customers. Of course other warranties have been denied, yes that happens.

Call me crazy but I'd rather have the influence of an authorized dealer who buys 7 figures a year from Greddy to push my warranty claim than a 0% chance because Greddy won't warranty something not bought from an authorized dealer. Who do you think, honestly, has the most pull with Greddy and other manufacturers? Authorized dealers who spend big bucks or a no-name dot com shop that's been in business 3 months and will out of business in 3 more?

Also, I'm not just talking about Greddy here, I'm talking about all the major dealers such as HKS, Blitz, Power Enterprise, Brembo, etc.

Regards,

Dusty

 

I couldn't agree with Dusty more, we have also been Greddy dealer for 5 years now. And I can tell you, these days with so much of our work load. We have seen plenty of people buying and purchasing parts from Ebay or used stuff or some internet shops. And coming to us for install instructions or some missing bolts, or some warranty items. You know what, I refuse them. Its not that we are mean business people. Its just we are so busy from helping our own customers out who support us and help building us. And time is so hard to find. So for someone really to go out of their way to help someone. Maybe buying from someone who is knowledgeble in the turbo kit maybe a suggestion. At the same time, most Greddy dealer can match prices vs. some of these Dot come shops. Me, Dusty, whoever that's a real Greddy Authorized Dealer should not refuse your price match. And we always get most of the products first.

If you dis agree, this is not meant to be an attack on anyone. Just my own personal opinion.

Since the begining of time, manufacters have been trying to stiffle competition and control their distribution channels by threateting to withhold warranty service when products are not purchased from an authorized dealer. One of the biggest reasons they do this is to keep prices high. I've seen numerous cases of MFG's cutting off retailers that don't adhere to pricing guidlines. My company has done this before, and I am in the consumer products business. You are right....MFG's do this with all products...not just car parts.

I totally agree that if you get this installed, do it at an authorized dealer with a good relationship with Greddy. I shop for the best price, but also look for good service and other things.

The original post asked if the price he was quoted was good, and I think it is. But I know Jeff or Dusty will match it.

Cheers!

The worst thing a Vendor can ask for is when someone spend their time to talk to you about parts, installation, product knowledge and so so. And turn around and purchase it from a Dot come shop. With out even asking you how much you can sell it for or if you can match or beat the price.

 

i didn't buy my greddy kit from a authorized dealer but they still shipped me a missing part when I did the install and found it there was a missing part. Also got my free t shirt and jacket. Greddy will help you no mater if you bought the product from a dealer or not. there not willing to lose there reputation over an upset customer. warranty still applies, it just makes it easier when you go through an authorized dealer. just my .02

 

Well, I kinda think that people go outside the dealers to get that good price. They shouldn't have to go back to the authorized dealer to try to get a price match. The authorized dealer should give their best price from the beginning. But that is in a perfect world. I wouldn't mind going back and asking the dealer if they can match the price, but the problem is, alot of dealers get offended if you come to them with such a thing.

Maybe everyone should be like Budweiser and not let anyone buy any of their product without going through one of their dealers. Course, most companies don't have the power of a Budweiser. Hence, they sell their products by any means neccessary.

Still don't get why Greddy wouldn't stand up to their warranty, they made both kits afterall. From a dealer point of view, why be an authorized dealer if you get nothing out of it?? Hence the warranty stuff. Greddy made and distributed both kits, so they should warranty both kits.

Point blank, on most stuff, I would rather support our authorized vendors here. But if I were buying a big ticket item of this magnitude, where you can save hundreds of dollars(perhaps a thousand), others will at least have my ear. People may say big ticket items is where you want to spend the most money to get the most sercurity, but those items are also where you can save the most money.

 

The problem with your desire for authorized dealers to give you the best price possible is that we can't. Authorized dealers have to stick to certain price guidelines or Greddy (or whoever) can legally control our supply of products. An unauthorized supplier could be getting the kit from any authorized dealer, Greddy can't really find out who. So unauthorized suppliers are somewhat "protected" from manufacturers' pricing policies.

I learned my lesson in my teenage years that you get what you pay for. Later in my life when I was shopping for a home theatre system I was looking for a company that had a solid reputation and I knew could support me if I needed assistance. The company that I wound up buying my system from was somewhere around 15% higher than the cheapest price I could find, but looking back on the support they've given me makes it all worth it. Also, oddly enough, the company that had the lowest price doesn't have a website anymore and appears to be out of business...what a shock.

Well thanks for all the feedback guys. I already sent a message to Jeff asking him for a price. I've heard alot of good things about evolution autosports. I just figured a kits a kit and it doesn't matter who you buy it from but who puts it in. After hearing all of your feedback I'm gonna definetely buy from a reputable dealer when I decide to buy it.

 

I'd much rather my competitor Jeff get the sale than some no-name shop who want be here to support you guys by this time next year.

Regards,

Dusty

How much fo rthe kit?

i live in LA area. enyone knows where is best place to get install GReddy turbo ? SP engineering give me the price for $9200 parts and labor. I can't afford that much.

 

SPE does everything right the first time. There are not many places I'd trust my car to in the LA area from the experiences my customers give me. What you spend up front having it done right could save you a lot of money down the road.

But to answer your question instead of giving you unwanted advise - I don't know of any other place in LA I would trust the install to.

 

Agree with Dusty again. LA area, try SP.
