Hey, I went to JWT and got some quotes on some of their turbos. They charge more than AMZ for their own turbos. What the heck is the deal with that? I figured I could get a better deal going directly to the source. But, on a happy note. The shop that they recommend for servicing the Z is the very shop I take my car to.

 

Ever heard the term "Dealer Discount" ?

 

Um, yeah. Apperently that is the case here.

 

When a manufacture sales to the public they tend to do so at their "suggested retail price."

But when a retailer gets the parts from the manufacturer they get it at a lower price and then go on to compete with other retailers prices and so you end up with a lower than "suggested" price.

 

what ever happened to "oh, i'm not going to do too much to the TT"? haha, got bit by the bug.

 

I am not going to do much. But, if these turbos go (which they will at some point), then I will upgrade them. It only makes sense.

 

exactly... I thought this was common knowledge.

 

look at Stillen.....same thing.

 

That's how it is for 99% of businesses (here in the US anyway). Businesses don't like to deal w/ individuals... they want mass business w/ other businesses. There's other reasons too... like taxes & such.
