Yeah, he inquired...then showed me GAP's price of 72.50 and I said...ok...
I'm looking for 90.00 shipped obo ...
Thing is here guys...I don't need your core, you don't have to send it back, etc. etc. I'm not sure whether GAP's carries a warranty....but that is included as well. I know what I paid (100.00) and I am loosing that in shipping at least.
If you look at the cost of shipping to get it from GAP and then your core charge added and/or shipping charges there, your going to be close to this price...
Again, I don't know what their warranty is on the starter...I know this is limited lifetime...
In the end...i think the price is fair. If you want to haggle, let me know...I may or may not bite. I'll def. reconsider if GAP or the like do carry the warranty on the starter, then I'll work more. The warranty is a nice thing to have...I've replaced this particular starter once under warranty and have done alternators, etc. Its nice to have...pay once...don't have to pay again sort of thing, and if you drive the car daily and put miles on it regularly chances are that eventually it'll go again.
I won't go lower than the price reflective of insured shipping...its the only way I will ship. Low balling for 25, 40 bucks...don't even bother. Its 15.00-20.00 to ship to most places in the first place, insured, etc.
Pardon my tone, but really...this has happened more than once with this particular item and reflectively the price is more than fair especially including shipping and give the warranty that comes with it.
I'm not really making anything on it in reality...so I'm not out to take anyone...what is fair is fair. Also, if your bringing information about others products to the table, then include all info. What about the core charge? Warranty? There is more to a price than just the product itself.
