cheapest Greddy TT #11520094
http://www.motorweb.com/TUNER-TURBO-...VVviewprod.htm
thats the best price ive ever seen, anyone seen anything cheaper than that?? or ANY turbo besides that one even??
i would say that the cost on that thing is probably ridiculous i would say about 2000 if its hand made to pay for the welder/benders wages..
but if done by machine id say 400 dollars ahah

That's the cheapest I've seen for that kit but It's till too much imo. In these economic hardships that is just too much to turbo a 30K car. Not much competition out now but I'm sure someone will eventually come out with a twin turbo kit for 5K. Probably cost greddy like 2500 to make that stuff and is marking it up jsut because of the name...
LOL @ people bitching about price on a turbo kit. Greed? Do you understand what it costs to run a business? Obviously the company you work for doesn't make any profit, cause that would be a sin.
I tell you what, when you stop taking a paycheck for working, you can start bitching about how much things cost. Till then every company out there is still allowed to make a profit and not be confined to charity work.
Price hikes happen because shipping costs go up, manufacturing costs go up. Less items being shipped because the global economy is in a downward spiral means that everything costs twice as much to ship as it did 3 months ago. It's going to double again shortly.
Then on the manufacturing side, all the loans businesses have outstanding on the equipment that they use were being amortized over 10+ years, the companies are now having to either secure new financing on, or having to pay off those loans sooner. R&D budgets are basically gone, so don't expect any real invention over the next year or two.
Advertising costs more now than ever. Magazines are going away, look at SCC. Less people are advertising, which means the magazines that are left have to find money somewhere and that is in ad space. A half page ad costs 1.5x what it did in October 2008. That money has to come from someplace.
The internet price ****** are disappearing right and left. They used to have to move tons of equipment at low margins to survive even though they didn't have to support a store front or any customer service. Well that mass item sales deal is gone, those shops are closing up right and left. The places that are left in business are charging profit margins that allow them to survive.
If you don't like it I'm really sorry. Want to get the prices back down? Fix the global economy real quick, I'll be waiting.

so your telling me if someone said.
"hey i can get you this same product for 6 thousand dollars less"
you wouldn't buy it?
i work at a dealership is profit is how we are paid. but in some cases yes it is greed when i sales manager puts a 10 grand mark up or even 5 grand on a Toyota Prius and doesn't want to discount a single dollar when we have 20 of them sitting on a lot.. and the dealer in the next city is. and no one has bought one for 3 weeks, and customers come in talk to sales people try to work a deal and when the deal cant be done, they come back a day or two later to the fleet department.
besides whats wrong with competition on price, Millions of retail and wholesale companies do it.
Im looking for a good deal. id had to spend the money on something like that, and all of a sudden greddy goes were doing 50% off turbo kits!!
Im not ignorant to just open my wallet to anyone and hand over my money, i don't see the value in spending 9000 grand for something that cost 1000
and mister uprev , it looks like you own or have a company your telling me the service you charge " customers " you would charge a best friend or a family member same price? since its not a sin you should make even more money on those people because you know they trust you already and wouldn't think twice to question you.
there is a fair price... and an outrageous price, and the outrageous price is what has taken the real estate market to **** , people paying millions of dollars for homes that are truly worth 300k, people buying cars with huge mark ups now they have a 40 k loan, but the car is worth 15k, it doesn't help anyone.
if i paid full price for that turbo 9000 k plus tax in Cali is 7.75 = 9675 plus the cost of installation and any other mods i might need to support the kit, its half the price of what i bought my car for almost aha.
if i could buy that turbo and have it installed for 5grand. i would concider it, and if someone is willing to sell that same turbo going for 9 grand for 6500 i think my wish will come true vvvvvvverrrrryyy soon.

and and, my thinking is
just make every deal, no matter how small, the more referrals you have the more business, and referrals are lay downs anyway because they heard the success story and trust you now, i bet you if a online store bought 200 kits, and came on here and said
" the first 50 people get the kit for 3500 "
so now the 50 are gone people will message him saying. plz plz. hook me up and he says ok ill do it for 6500, ok ill do it for 5500, ok ill do it for you but only if you have a friend or someone you know that will buy one at the same time.
now he's making his money so instead of having 200 kits sitting there with a price tag of 9 grand. he's already sold 50, and word of mouth and text of fingers aha, he's moving product.

You've lost your damned mind. No one in the automotive performance aftermarket industry is marking things up over 40%. Don't compare different industries to make an invalid point. There is no rape because customers can purchase anywhere.
The profit margins are razor thin, because even brick and mortar stores have to compete with online shops that have no employees, no inventory, and no overhead.
As a matter of fact my good friend Russell came in the other day and bought Osiris Tuner from me for his Frontier, he paid retail.
I'm in business to make a profit, we've invested five years of R&D into our product, and we're constantly reinvesting any "profit" into growing our company, making new products, and making our products better. We have a total of 3 whole people on our payroll and we float month to month with less than you have in your personal savings in our account because we so heavily re-invest in our products. We're not broke by any means, but I don't take home a larger paycheck than you do. I can put money on that, and I work 60+ hours a week. If you're trying to say we "overcharge" for our products, you're obviously off your damned rocker.

WTF who sells 200 kits? Do you have any concept what so ever of how products move? Obviously you don't. Greddy doesn't sell 200 kits a year world wide. This is why you work for someone who owns a business, and you don't run your own. You'd go broke inside of 2 weeks.
This is exactly what is wrong with whoring out products. You end up with uneducated sales people with no understanding of what customer service is. Selling uneducated customers any **** the customer has some cash or credit for, whether the part works or not. Then those pissed off customers spend 3x more fixing their cars and making them right because they eventually find a reputable knowledgeable shop that can make things work. Problem is the reputable knowledgeable shops can't pay their employees what they are worth and eventually they get burnt out and leave for a desk job.
I work my *** off every day trying to give customers a little bit of knowledge so that they can make an informed decision and buy things that work properly for their vehicles and help to make sure they reach their end goals. Every single time they have some unrealistic idea about what it all is, because they read it on some forum, from some dingbat like yourself. Or they've already wasted a few thousand dollars dealing with some low ball shop and their vehicle doesn't run right. So they end up having to spend a ton more for just some basic fixes and updates to make it work. All they had to do was ask the first time and they could have actually saved a fortune by spending what they were told was too much. When you can pull your sack out and run a business and help service customers, you let me know. Till then keep your uneducated gibberish to yourself and stop harming the community with ignorant posts and wrong way thinking. If you really think you're getting ripped off, then don't buy anything, bury your head in the sand and we'll let you know when you can come back out.

I kinda agree with the argument that businesses do have to pay for the cost of there products but when you see kits out there for 7500 and they are complete kits for our engine then you have to wonder, is 8900 for a greddy tuner kit that doesn't come with everything a resonable price to be charging people or is 6000 a better price.
