Hi all,
I have a proposition...
Quaife have told me the facts. They will make a Diff for our Fire 'boxes, if I order ten off minimum. There are currently 8 people who want these Diffs, and I'm prepared to be left with the "Spare" one. I'm also quite prepared to foot the bill for all ten of them, just to get the ball rolling.
I have spoken to Quaife again today, and they need my Diff and Gearbox casing, which I'm happy to take down to them. They have estimated a price of £460 + vat, so it could be less, or it could be more??? I would imagine that the highest it'll get to is £500, based on the fact that their price on a lot of other diffs is around the £590 mark?
So, before I waste my time driving all the way to Kent, with my 'box in the boot, how do you feel about all paying me a deposit of 25%, which is what Quaife want before doing anything. Obviously if you pay me with Paypal, you'll need to add a little, so that I'm not out of pocket in the end.
I am a 45 yr old professional Engineer, and have no intention of ripping anyone off. I am not going to make a penny out of this, but obviously don't want to be out of pocket either, so I think the terms of this deal will be this:-
You pay a deposit of 25% (£135), which is refundable if the quote I recieve is more than, say, £480 +vat+carriage.
The deposit will be non-returnable if you change your mind after I've given Quaife the go ahead.(I will be stuck with your Diff)
I will not give Quaife the go ahead until everyone is happy with the quote.
Anyone who is not happy with the quote, can have a refund, and the rest will have to wait until we have the original 9 or 10 diffs sold. (As mentioned earlier, I'll have the spare diff if we are stuck with only 9 sold.)
I will arrange for Quaife to ship the diff to your desired delivery address, once I have recieved payment in full from yourself.
I will not make a penny out of this deal, and will happily show anyone the invoice once I've paid.
If anyone would like to add to this, or suggest a better way of getting this going, please feel free. But remember, this cannot go ahead without some form of commitment from those interested. I am simply not prepared to stump up over £5000 on the basis of a list of names on a forum. I think you'd all feel the same?
