Group Buy: Pairs of Rear arches

Cleaned up the garage and found some parts you want to sell? Or are you looking for that one part? You can advertise or request just about anything that has to do with the Volvo 480 in here: brochures, towing-hooks, antenna's, etc etc...

Group Buy: Pairs of Rear arches

Post by CaptainQwerty » Fri Apr 17, 2015 7:08 am

Hello all,

Would anyone be interested in joining in a group buy for both rear arches? I have contacted Skandix and they are very open to a bulk/group buy and so far will lower the price to 106 EUR per side if we get 10 pairs agreed so as many as possible and we can maybe get a little more off :)

Currently the group buy count stands at
1 - Myself


Thanks,
Antony.

I'd be interested, I have been looking to buy recently. Maybe we should get 2 sets each - a spare set for next January! 10 sets may be ambitious but we shall see.

Yeah thought it might be but hey if we can get 10 people buying a set or two each we all save nearly 40Eur per side :D So worth a shot.

but yes I intend to buy 2 sets :)

If we can just see how many people are up for it I will talk to them again to see if they can do anything for us!

Going to ask the Facebook group as well tonight to catch anyone that isn't on the forum.

so should I add your name to the list Swanny?

Definitely? :) I am hoping people are willing to commit so that is 3 of us! Come on people at least 7 more to go and we hit the first discount.

I have one bad rear arch only. I'm afraid the costs of having the workshop do the job would not be reasonable against the value of the car.

It is only the outside and one side, right? What do you think, do you need both sides - out and in? And what is with the girder?
I think you need 3 things per side ... not at every car, but I see so many cars where the arch is rusty ... in and outside of the body at the arch.

I have a customer who will get them ... so I am with you with one - left and right side.
If u need spares feel free to contact me. I ship to whole Europe incl. UK.

I am really hoping to get this sorted - We are not far off - If we cannot all the people we require I can try with a lesser number and see what they say :)

I'm definitely still in. How are you going to make sure people don't pull out and how will the transaction take place? I have no idea whether or not I need the inner panels too, although my arches are pretty far gone. What is this 3rd part? I thought there was just an inner and outer panel.

I talked it over at the body shop and it confirmed what I feared.

On how this would work
Basically was hoping to get all the definite people and addresses then once we have a locked group of deffinates discuss how we would like to pay as there is a few ways we could do it :)
