Is this a decent price?

I was outbid, but I have the opportunity to buy one through a second chance deal....
Is this a decent price? Or should I let it go?

Thanks!

I guess what I'm really asking is:

Am I getting ripped-off by paying 169.00 for this tiny CF piece? Or is it worth the money?

RodC 12-03-2007 11:07 PM

It's not a rip-off at that price. It's more than a tiny piece of plastic or CF. That piece contains the hatch handle pressure sensor and the wiring which attaches to the pressure sensor. Toyota charges almost that much for a factory replacement.

paulky_2000 12-03-2007 11:13 PM

I figured I'd have to transfer all the internals from the factory piece to the CF piece. Having said that, it sounds like even money as far as the price is concerned....

Cool deal!

get it from delta, he offers a core exchange program - 200 initially, but then you send him yours when your done and you get 100 back....

better deal

Only problem with Delta... his isn't carbon fiber.

IMO, no. It's a rip off. You're saving how much weight compared to the plastic piece... the weight of a stick of gum?

Besides, it looks stupid, IMO

Yes, you're getting ripped off.

Yes, you're getting ripped off.

doesnt look stupid if you're running a CF hatch too

cwayne 12-04-2007 09:23 AM

CF hatch will cost you alot more than $169

LOL!!!

CFing the doors, hatch and hood would probably cost you as much as a forced induction kit. Might as well go that way.

IMO, the tC is a waste of money to trick out too extremely simply because it\'s driving the wrong wheels.

However, it\'s his money, he\'s welcome to waste it on whatever he wants. :D
