*CLOSED* LANCER New Style L.E.D. Tail Lights
Posted: Wed May 13, 2009 3:46 pm
LED Tail Lights
Background
This arose from our proposed front lip purchase. The dealer Rick tried to sell us an LED Tail Lamp which would be forthcoming from China. They were first quoted @ A$760 delivered.
Being unsatisfied at the prospect of being ripped off, on behalf of the club, I attempted to source for an alternative route. Further quotes came in from another Sg dealer @ a group buy of 10 sets at A$650 each delivered to 1 address.
An Australian Distributor then contacted me to propose ~ A$555 delivered (at least 10 paxs) till I found the direct sales arm of the factory manufacturing these which pushed the costs even further down.
These lamps are now here with me in Melbourne, Australia and are available in both smoked and chrome designs. There is little differentiation between them but it's clear to see that at the edges, the chrome ones shine out more.
ADR
These lamps are ADR compliant. Their E-mark is taken as an equivalance to ADR. This is a well known fact. The last image on this post clearly displays the E-mark on these lamps.
Pricing
In Melbourne (Pick up COD)
Anyone = A$350.00
All other states (subject to change with shipping rates)
Anyone= A$370.00
Why buy from me?
Honestly? Because I'm one of you. I make next to nothing off these and took a big plunge in to secure this for the club. Other dealers will be getting them soon yes and if they tell you I'm expensive, consider that these lamps were air freighted here rather than sea freight.
My contract with the manufacturer gives an 18mth warranty on all sets I sell which is why I ask you for very detailed records. eBay sellers have only advertised 1yr warranty. If you think about it as well, I can rejig the 18months to when I sell the last tail lamp to extend your protection further. Commercially that won't be possible.
Furthermore, my contract with them allows me to buy individual sections should the unthinkable accident happens to you. I don't think any of them will be able to provide you that.
I do need to recover some of my risk which is why the markup is very low from what I've paid for it. Still it'll be lower than what commercially is available.
Edit:
I forgot to add that if you're disatisfied in any way with my pricing scale, please feel free to get in touch with me via PM to discuss. I will try my hardest to match the price you want to pay. In particular for those who are still in school.
