Group Buy for Corsa Exhaust?

[SOCRATES]

I know I'm not the only one interested in purchasing this exhaust. Just curious if anyone had any connections to arrange a "group buy" for this item? I'm sure we could get together more than a couple interested parties.

Jason,

I posed this question to the company (Hummer-Parts.com) this afternoon just to be sure:

The response was as follows:

"WOW! This is a good one! We are a Corsa Reseller! We are a GM Dealer and you are getting the stuff right from Corsa with a factory warranty! Some people just don’t play fair."

Ken,

What is the size of your garage? I wanted to get the Stealth rack as well, but I just don't think it will fit. I have a normal-sized 7 foot garage by the way.

Thanks,

NO sore spot here.. Very reasonable attitude. Nice that we can both state our opinion and move on to other things.. I ordered the sport with the dual round tips... Kept going back and forth between those and the offroad.. Still not sure I did the right thing or not. Oh well .

Mike,

No, unfortunately I do not. I'm sure someone on here does though, and could set up a group buy for the fellow members on this forum. You can count me in, if so!

I was just wondering.. As we have investigated adding Corsa to our product line.. Just do not wish to add store inventory at this time.. We would be willing to do so for a small group.. YOu will need to find 5 people total wanting Corsa.. It would be below retail. I do not have specfic pricing. If you can find 4 other people email me at info@popguns.com or call at 1-877-900-4867.. I do not wish to step on Jasons toes.. If Jason sells Corsa product, I would prefer to cancel offer.

It is a good thing to know that everything is legitimate.

What do you care if we can get a good price on the Corsa exhaust? By paying hundreds more what are you proving? Sounds stupid to me. Your argument about the product not being stocked as much and the company goes away is about the dumbest thing I have heard. If anything they would sell more units. Lower the price and sell less units?

I'm in business and the name of the game is buying something for as little as you possibly can and selling your product for as much as you can. The balance is to do it and still maintain customer loyalty and satisfaction. What you are seeing is capitalism in action. The very thing that makes us (Americans) unique and what enables us to purchase things like H2's. Thank God for Republicans.

Don't forget that you can inexpensively order the offroad extension to temporarily replace your tips while offroading. Should be easier than removing the steps.

The prices on the group buy are the best I have seen. Corsa frowns on people selling at a discount because it globally lowers the price of the product and their competition will follow suit. The site offering the group buy is a GM dealer so they are authorized to sell the system. Friendly Chevrolet of Puyallup

Why does CORSA really care? They're still making their profit by selling to the dealership. And with a group-buy like this, they will sell more units to that dealership...thus = more $ for them.

The dealership is the one potentially losing on profits. However, their total profit margin on selling 12 units at this "special" price is probably the same as selling 4 units at retail. AND they show CORSA that they're selling 12 units in Feb. Most companies want to show their supplier that they're moving their product.

Yep always had my mind set on the "sport" I just couldn't decide on the tip.. SO with the bit of billet I have on the way for the H2, decided what the hell and get the 2 round tips.
Not sure if most can justify the extra expense for them. I know if I was as involved with off roading as a few on this site , I sure would not go with anything but the offroad configuration..

Now just a matter of waiting for the stuff to show up. Realwheels said they would try to ship them out Fri.

I had been contacted by some "higher ups" they informed me that they were unsure whether those offering the deal were a certified Corsa reseller.

They asked for me to remove the thread and I obviously thought that was the best move. Until more information is available, I would prefer that you all actually get what is promised to you.

Hello 89vette and Centerfire,

Thanks for your insights...sort of what I expected. I don't wnat to throw "cold water" on everyone's Corsa deal though! A good sounding exhaust system may be reason enough for many (I used to have a '65 fuelie vette with OEM side exhausts...what a sound!!).

I wonder how that group buy on the H2fanatic forum is doing?

I have to agree.. I have bought into all the aftermarket performance add ons for my trucks. Other then the Supercharger, I not sure if I got measureable performance increase or if it is all in my head. But I just keep buying into it.. I have the Airraid filter system, Hypertech III on my H2 , I think I'm getting more peformance out of the hypertech or simply could just be the different shift points I programed in that is leaving me with this impression..

I agree with 89 vette, it's all about the sound with the exhausts.. Corsa sport is on the way.. if realwheel ever gets the order out. They are behind due to demand of their billet items.
