Exclamation Haltech Group Buy!

Isn't it about time for another Haltech Group Buy? Maybe there is one that I dont know about.

Can anyone out there help myself and others with an arranged group buy?

Thanks!

Brad Scott

I'm in no matter what, even if it only saves me $1

Can we move this on over to the Group Buy section. Didnt I hear that we have to get Jason's permission for a group buy post?

Lets get this thing going!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey badass, I fell just like you do. I need one BAAAAD, but I'm unfortunately new to the forum. I didn't know about the group buy listings, so maybe I'll let you take it into your own hands? I was just suggesting the idea of having a group buy, and wishing for someone to chime in with help. So far nothign yet

Okay, I guess I can try and head this one up. We need to get this out in the Group Buy Forum. The traffic in here is close to nil. I'll contact Jason and see if we can post it there, and see maybe if we can purchase from him.

I've pretty much been waiting on Jason....that guy has to be super busy...it takes him about 5-6 days to reply to anything. I know we have 5...but I've had two distributors tell me if we can get 10 the price will be around $1000....maybe less. And this is with harness and MAP sensor.

I dunno, I want to get this thing going here soon...but we can't post it in the GB section without Jason's approval. And we can't get Jason's approval cause it takes too long to write "Y E S" in an email...........and if its not in the GB section, might be tough to get alot of people....

Okay, I emailed every single distributor in the US as listed on Haltech's web site...42 total. So far I have heard back from 6, 2 saying they don't sell retail, and 4 saying they can get me a price on 10 minimum, and it will be tomorrow...

Okay guys....here's the deal....

Basically, we have to make a choice. I have received alot of response from my email's, and it pretty much boils down to this: The companies where we can get the lowest prices don't offer technical support when it comes to installation/tuning. Those who do offer good tech support, aren't too fond of giving a price break, even if we buy 100 units. Here's a copy of an email from a performance shop in Florida...

Brad
Yes we do retail sales of Haltech Systems. Haltech requires we adhere to the retail pricing policy's witch we prefer to do to protect the Profitability of dealers who offer competent tech support and to keep resellers who sell below retail only for the money and deeper discounts to could care less if you need tech assistance or not and will send you to haltech direct who are already understaffed to handle tech calls from people who purchased through suppliers that can't Help you. a far as group
discounts no we do not unless you are a licensed repair or performance shop and can substantiate that with the appropriate Documentation But what I can do is sell you the 3 Bar map sensors with the systems at a discount price. The E6K with Flying lead harnesses are $1145.00 The termination kit is $75.00 and 1 Bar Map sensors are $110.00. On a ten unit order we would
Discount the map sensor to $90.00 and the harness Termination kit to 60.00 and provide tech assistance for install and tuning.


I even got a call from Haltech themselves...guess they found out about my emails and expressed their concern. They don't want to sacrifice product support and technical assistance just to offer a good price.

So I guess we have a decision. Do we need the companies tech support? I personally think there is enought info and support out there that we don't need it from the company we purchase them from. Anyhow, the best price I have got so far is $930 for the ECU, flying lead connector kit, and 3-bar MAP sensor, the fully terminated harness would be $100 more. Thats $1030 total.
