  • VIC Group Buy: DieselGeek Shifters

    So I purchased a diverter valve off V-Tech Australia and decided to ask the question- can they source Diesel Geek shifters, and was told yes, as a group purchase (dealer pricing is steep and hard to get here).



    The normal pricing on them is $195US + $52US shipping. Roughly $270+AU

    Guaranteed group buy pricing:
    $240 each + $15 shipping Australia wide if required - pick up is available in Melbourne.

    -It doesn't seem like much off, but I've haggled and V-Tech has haggled and it's the best that will be done.
    -The current group required is ten people.
    -If less than ten people are committed (and PAID) to the group buy by Monday 30th December, the pricing will revert down to $255. This is still good for people out of Melbourne as its a guaranteed price, but only really a little cheaper if you're picking up..
    -Shipping within AUS can also be grouped to save more.
    -Payment will be made straight to V-Tech, within the group buy time frame (three weeks).

    I have heard many great things about these shifters, including story about one person who purchased a used car because the shifter felt so good. There have also been previous group buys: http://www.vwwatercooled.com/forums/...ers-75525.html

        Wasn't Greg Roles the importer of these? Somebody on this forum was & they could do pretty good prices.

          A few years ago Greg from Carformance did do a Diesel Geek group buy, but stopped importing their products shortly after. I purchased one from Greg in his GB but sold it not long after - i can see how some people would like the short shifter, but it wasn't for me.

              True. There just isn't any money in it for the Aus middle-man, hence the one-off group buys

                The reason is they LAND here over $200, so it's hard to sell them at a direct import competitive price.

                Awesome product and bloke behind them, just not a viable item sadly. $240 is a keen price guys.

                    I'm not sure. It'd be worth sending Jim at dieselgeek an email, and having a look at your setup compared to the sigma pics
