Anyone in central florida have an S5 parts car. Im starting my custom interior and need some things. I need the center console air cond. vent. Passenger side top dash vent (little traingle) the pass. side power window switch, and driver side door air vent. I went to a guy named marc kondraki (marcs imports) who is right around the corner from me and he wanted 50 bucks for the center vent!!!!! BLAH! and 20 for that little traingle vent. I didnt even ask about the power window switch i was so sick...Anyone got a parts car i can guy em off of for a reasonable price? Color does not matter as they will all be getting painted...

thanks in advance...

ps...dont use marc's imports...he has enough money as it is and he is a highway robber...

 

Have you ever done business with Marc before? He has the **** whatever you need for 1st, 2nd, or 3rd gen. He gurantees his stuff too. Does any other yard do that? I don't think so. He has been around a long time and deserves some respect as he supplies a lot of race teams with complete cars and parts. Are you in a club? We have Central Fla RX Club and i am vice president. If you ask for help and not instant gratification you might get it. If not you can deal with flaky individual sellers and out of state people and hope the **** is what they say or doesn't get broken during shipping that you pay for. good luck

 

bro go to ebay..theres a store called rx7 addict he has everything you need

 

Whoa, first of Robrxray, i wasnt blasting Marc, yes i have dealt with him before, but 50 bucks for a center vent is kinda off. I wasnt looking for instant gratification either...But i cant buy off the internet cause i dont have a credit card. I cant say im part of a car club yet cause the first meet with cen fl rx club i was going to come to was the last one and had to miss it due to personal life...Hence the fact i was asking someone to help me out, not instant gratification...I just think that 50 dollars for a center vent isnt right...15 bucks for a corner top dash vent is kinda steep to. All i was trying to do was get a better price or find another yard with some S5s or s4s...

ps. Not to disrespect Marc at all, but everyone that comes by RPMs (rotary powered machines) shop says the same thing about him, that his prices are to high...so its not just my soul arrogant opinion.

 

well is there someone you trust or you know that you can give the money to and they would buy it for you

akari, no problem, trying to get parts sucks. I get defensive when it comes to business and i am in business with marc on a small scale. I was saying if you would ask, before you bash i might have been able to get a better price. center piece for s5 rubber is worth 50 and try to find one cheaper is gonna be hard unless you find a shell. demisters sell new at mazdatrix and some other places for 12- 15 plus shipping for one. If you get something from marc's, it is usually close to new on interior stuff because he knows how to store parts.

 

Not trying to bash man, It just seemed steep to me. All i was trying to do was find a cheaper, easier route to getting my parts. Im trying to do a custom interior as its the easiest, and cheapest thing for me to do right now...Its not the best way to start a business deal by stating a price, a rather high one it SEEMS, and not even mentioning that he guarenteed his parts or anything like that...

**** that $50 is way to high

 

Sorry.. Not to bash Marc either but that price is outrageously high and I havent smoked in over 20 years... I have some of those parts so email me and i will tell you what i got and as far as painting them... i used a product i bought at Advance Auto and it works great.. flexible paint in satin black... or the color of your flavor..
my email is: zondervanrx7@yahoo.com

 

there is an s5 in a you pull it yard in daytona I think its called pick in pull its on int. speed way blvd. and marc's prices are insane in general yes he does have the parts pretty much any thing you need but unless I am in a bind I don't buy from him.
