Default Question regarding ordering Corsas through Corsa.

Something kind of odd.... I called Corsa directly to get a price on their exhaust for the C4 LT-1. Their price was higher than prices quoted me by other vendors. What's up with that??? :confused:

Vendors buy in volume... they can pass the savings along to you.

Check with Chris @ Speed Demon, think he still has a special. I purchased one from him and couldn't be happier. :D

Weren't you looking for a C-5? Change of mind? :confused:

Yes...still looking for a C5. :D But in the meantime, I'm still putting Corsas on as soon as the roads are dry. There's a 2000 on a lot near me...$38K, 15K miles, 6 speed....tri black vert. But more than I was looking to bury myself into at this time.... I still have a SUV that I pay for, too, so 2 big car payments aren't real attractive. :)

For the longest time, LAPD was the best price out of the online vendors for Corsa.

I waited for a group purchase and got the whole thing through Xtreme for $749! The group purchase was about April last year.

That's an excellent price. Via Corsa they are $995. :eek:

What better reason than to support a Corvette Forum Supporting Vendor. Most of our supporting vendors are fantastic and have excellent prices. Corsa does not intend to compete with their distributors and resellers so they are going to charge you full retail prices if you order directly.

Yep, I hear ya, Vette92. Typically if you cut out the "middle man" you save $'s.... not the case here. But it makes sense if Forum Vendors are purchasing in bulk that they're getting a break from Corsa and they pass it on to Members. I like it. :)
