HEY GUYS A CHANCE TO GET ATHUNTIC WALD KITS FOR FAIRY CHEAP IN THE US.

WWW.CARROZZERIADESIGN.COM

AN AUTHROIZED WALD DEALER (CHECK WWW.WALDUSA.COM)

HAS OFFERED TO SELL THE COMPLETE WALD KIT FROM JAPAN FOR $1450 (plus shipping + fogs are extra i believe).

HOWEVER, THEY SAID THAT IF THERE ARE 5 CONFIRMED BUYERS THEY WILL GO LOWER THAN $1450.

Anyone interested?

haha i donno

probably not. but I think the old clk320 fog lights fit on the wald kit. i was told they use OEM fogs. If this is true, you can find one from like 50 bucks on ebay.

This group buy is only for the body kit. I don't know if they will let us mix purchases for a group buy. I will ask and get back to you.

Would you have a ball park idea of how much lower in price they are willing to go

While were at it maybe they can make a custom Wald kit for us that is a complete widebody kit. :D I like the front bumper a lot but side skirts and rear are too plain. Also i would think the fog lights are included because on the wald website it states "sold as a whole set only" below is link.

The fog lights don't come with. They all sell separately.

So There are 2 people right now. I emailed the guy today about the actual price for a 5 person group buy. So hopefully he'll get back to me tomorrow or Monday.

I'm also asking around several other places to see if they can do better. Pulling out all the stops on this. My goal is to try to get it down to 1200 just for the kit. I'll keep you guys posted.

Do you have a seller's permit. If not I could help out if we purchase from wheelexperts.com I could get wholesale account from them. Also how long does it take to receive kits after payment.

c_lee
11-12-2004, 10:18 PM
THe kit takes about a month to get here. I don't have a seller's account.

When i spoke to wheelexperts.com, they quoted me $1600 + shipping. That's kinda a pricey for me, so I've been looking else where.

Maybe you can do better than me with them.

Let us know

Try TWS for the best price. www.thewheelsupply. Ask for Sander.

And Wald is tight :)

if i remember correctly the fog lights used for the wald kits are the ones from the C43.

Okay here it is...not much of a discount - but here are the numbers

For a 5 Person Group buy.

The price for the Wald Kit is $1450 shipped from Japan to Irvine ,CA. If you live in California and can make the trip down to OC, than you can have the kit for $1450.

If you need shipping within the US, its $1450 + whatever shipping charges within the US.

Fog lights are separate (they ask for $280), but this are oem fogs, so I'm sure you can find em for cheaper on ebay.

Donno, if you guys are still interested. I'm going to keep looking for better pricing.

albanianbenz
02-13-2005, 03:54 PM
just wondering if you have found better pricing I or other info. I am really interested and plan on purchasing a kit in spring. I will do some more research on it and post back in a few days.

1450$ ? Guys, the complete kit costs 790$! My family has a wholesale company for fruits, vegetables exotic fruits and gastronomic specialties and 5 retail shops. We get our products daily from all over the world. 650$ for shipping is way too expensive, your dealers earn very much at this deal. You have to buy it in japan, every company has somebody that speaks english and then try to get a conveyance that ships it to the usa for a good price. try to find a conveyance that imports anything from japan to the states regularly and ask if they can take the kits with them. Believe me, there are many ways to get what you want.

I've never seen a WALD bodykit brand new for $790...

KenzBenz
02-14-2005, 11:51 AM
well it cost 790US IF you are buying it in Japan. But we all live in different places in the world. So you pay for expensive shipping...

boesewicht
02-15-2005, 08:20 AM
@ Brabus

Well it costs 790$ brand new in Japan, directly at WALD!


And I know that you all live in different places , but trying to get a good conveyance, better a conveyance that takes the kits with them on their regularly route is cheaper than that what the wholesalers offered to you.

Alex.

Are you able to get it for us, obviously I would expect you would make some money off this and we would all get a deal. I have the money ready now and can send it via paypal. I have tried wholesale and everything but I can not find an authentic Wald kit for under $1300 shipped to my door. If you could help me out that would be great my email is andauto@yahoo.com

officially from japan:
http://www.wald-japan.co.jp/wald/catalog/aero_parts/g-wald-exchange/c-class/w202.html

84,000 yen = about USD $805

So it is not that expensive

Is anyone interested in a Wald kit? I can get them for $1400 shipped to LA. If we get at least 5 buyers, he said the price can go down to around $1100-1200, he has to check with Wald. Anyone interested?

who's the dealer @ 1100.

how long will it take

do we have to pay the entire amt up front, or just put a 10% deposit down?

I'm not about put down the full 1100 before i get the product.

if this deal is based on an initial deposit, i may be interested.

TWS, $1100 is just a rough estimate if we had at least 10 kits purchased, not the real/actual price? I am 100% sure this GB will never happen. I know forsure 10 people will not cough up the money up front and the hassle of trying to gather 10 people willing and who will not flake is nearly impossible. Kits would have to be paid for in full and upfront. If this GB goes through, great. If not, I dont care about paying a couple hundred more dollars, no big deal. I will eventually get my Wald kit no matter what. A matter of a couple hundred dollars cant/wont stop me. :p :D

c_lee
02-26-2005, 08:26 PM
Well, I'm not forking over the full amt for a body kit up front.

WWW.CARROZZERIADESIGN.COM in irvine is willing to only take a 400 bucks deposit on the kit - with rest due upon arrival of the kit, but they want $1450.

Exactly my point. Im sure they would do someting like that, take a non refundable deposit. If someone was actually really interested and wanted the kit, I see no difference in paying up front or after? Obviously, no tuner shop is going to order 10+ kits on a faith of good will and take the promised words of people over the net. Whenever we have GB's over on the bmw forums, paying up front is standard procedure. It insures both the seller and buyer for their product. Theres never a problem getting the BMW guys to cough up a few grand. There was also a GB for Volk rims not long ago, the particular rim was backordered and required everyone to pay up front and in full to ensure them a spot, this is always standard. Even the Subaru guys have no problems with this? why is it so hard to get something going with the W202 guys? If this GB doesnt happen and Im almost postive it wont, I will order my kit alone and still get it for cheaper than $1450. Honestly, all this hassle to me, isnt worth saving a few hundred bucks. :rolleyes:

c_lee
02-26-2005, 10:15 PM
I'm not coughing up $1100 up front to someone that i don't know for a product that i cannot get right now. That's what the difference is.

I am glad that you can get the kit for less. Than maybe you should, rather than coming on the forum and wasting your time....

Im not the original starter to this thread. I was bored and searching and came upon it and figured, if others wanted a kit too, then maybe we can all get it a little bit cheaper. And you wouldnt be coughing up the money to someone you didnt know genious, you'd be paying the shop, not me. I was planning on getting either the Rieger or Wald, because the Brabus is discontinued and no one was willing to get on that GB as well. It seems like Kswiss and me are the only ones who are interested and willing to dump the $$.

albanianbenz
02-27-2005, 12:42 PM
I'm willing to dump the money for a Wald kit, not reiger or brabus. But I thought you only needed 5 people cuz that can prolly be done if you consider 3 of us now and two more shouldn't be that hard. I agree with you as far as getting 10 people and it will not happen anytime soon, if ever. Let me know where you can get it for under $1450.
