Which sponsor has the lowest price for Cobb AP?

ontopofm · 01-13-2012, 08:01 AM

Or how much did you pay for yours brand new? Thanks

cn555ic · 01-13-2012, 08:02 AM

Probably JEFF at topgearsolutions.

themyst · 01-13-2012, 08:23 AM

All of them will take the same offer. Trust me on this.

I got quoted by many, differnet prices from all. But my case is differnet as they all included shipping internationally. Safest bets are AR design and Jeff @ topgear.

So **********s is not a safe bet? I got mine from **********s for a great price, great customer service as well.

At OP, as Themyst said, most vendors will price match.

Don't always think of "cheapest", also consider service, support and knowledgebase. Jeff at Top Gear Solutions is all over this forum and chimes in with help all the time. That's where I would go first.

Threads like this make me want to puke! Where the hell are we? ...an open market in Afghanistan? Vendors not posting official prices make me feel like I am being ripped off, every time I buy something. There is always the thought of: "What if someone else sells it cheaper?" It totally destroys the trust in honesty and fair prices.

E90SoFlo · 01-13-2012, 09:58 AM

Jeff@Topgearsoltuions is an awesome guy!

I have had great experiences with **********s. Get a few quotes and you can't go wrong.

That's the one thing about this forum that drives me crazy. PM me for super secret pricing...

E90SoFlo · 01-13-2012, 10:12 AM

Don't complain about cheaper prices, You don't go to your BMW dealer and expect to pay what the sticker in the window says.

JamesM3M5 · 01-13-2012, 10:36 AM

The reason you have to "negotiate" or ask for a better price is because manufacturers often set price caps that the product distributor cannot go below. However, there are ways to negotiate a better price on an individual basis. It's just that the distributor cannot advertise that lower price.

If you are a loyal customer, you can usually get a better price than advertised. Just don't try to bottom-feed everything you buy. I have better luck with establishing a good relationship with a parts house that will give me support if there is a problem with a product, rather than buying from a dozen different vendors just to save a few more percent.

import36 · 01-13-2012, 10:52 AM

i pm all the places i would consider doing business with....and go with the lowest price. i've done that for almost everything on my car....and haven't been let down yet.

but i agree with JamesM3M5 statement above...Jeff at TGS not only has competitive prices...but is also a great asset to these forums with his knowledge and feedback on products.

335iLondon · 01-13-2012, 10:55 AM

AR design for me

Syndicategt · 01-13-2012, 11:10 AM

Jeff@Topgearsolutions or Alan************ FTMW....can't go wrong with either.

Exactly, I seem to have noticed a common lowest price among a few vendors... so it seems that there is a break even point where they can still make a profit.

Deadwrong · 01-13-2012, 11:15 AM

I checked with about every vendor on the board and Sonic tuning gave me the best price by far and the service was excellent.

messi · 01-13-2012, 11:45 AM

i spoke to ********** on this and they were willing to give me a nice discount compared to list price.

Sleeper · 01-13-2012, 11:55 AM

Honestly, and the vendors probably don't want to hear this, but buying a used AP is really the way to go. The AP isn't a wear item like an exhaust or suspension - used or new, it does the exact same thing and performs the exact same way and Cobb provides the exact same support.

My 2 cents, but buy new if it's peace of mind for you.
