Audi S3 Steering MF Wheel w/ Airbag Group Buy Feeler...

[FreeGolf]

unfortunately i do not have any way connecting with the original mfg and secondly i doubt they deal directly with the public... much like recaro, they will not sell audi seats to the public.

[DarkW1sh]

count me IN!

[drew138]

I sent an email to the guy in germany that i got my wheel from since this seems like its nearing a dead-end. I'll let you know what I hear back.

[FreeGolf]

excellent... if anyone else has any other 'connects' please do not hesitate to contact them... the more vendors we have involved the more potential we have for getting the best price possible... even though the margins/mark-ups seem to be pretty narrow as it is.

[tcardio]

by the time you get the group buy together, the 2011's will roll in with the standard FBMFSW.

[FreeGolf]

this may be true, however it still wont help the 2006-2008 owners...

one thing i was thinking was since the 2011 have them as an option, will local vendors be able to get them at a better rate, and therefore maybe we should wait. that is the only thing i was thinking about when i read about the '11s and the FBSW.

in any event, second vendor has replied this is wheel only deal:

(10x) TT S-Line Flat-Bottom Multi-Function Steering Wheel (Silver or Black Stitching) - $685.40 each (Retail - $804.60)
(10x) TT S-Line Flat-Bottom Multi-Function Steering Wheel (DSG/Tip, Silver or Black Stitching) - $757.85 each (Retail - $889.65)

(10x) S3 Flat-Bottom Multi-Function Steering Wheel (Silver or Red Stitching) - $685.40 each (Retail - $804.60)
(10x) S3 Flat-Bottom Multi-Function Steering Wheel (DSG/Tip, Silver or Red Stitching) - $757.85 each (Retail - $889.65)

PunkA3 is working with a vendor who has limited supply but at an extremely attractive price. Basically it would be first come first serve providing they have what you want.

More details will be posted in the next day or so.

[rick89]

prices look good, i hope this goes through within the next few weeks while the canadian dollar is still close to american.

[grubble]

This doesn't include airbag, does it?

[FreeGolf]

the prices posted above are wheel alone...

however punka3 has something brewing that blows away those prices... stay tuned for another day or so.

[xnox202]

that's a great price. I guess I'll have to wait for another deal to come along.

[FreeGolf]

i am waiting for confirmation from punka3. maybe he could chime in shortly when he gets the most recent email from the vendor indicating what exactly is available.

[LWNY]

Where is blow away pricing?

The vendor gets them as they come in...does not have a full stock. What is pictured is what is available...but I believe one of the non-dsg ones sold as well. I waiting to get the paypal address. The vendor assured me that as these sell, more will come in. Ive already made it clear to him that the DSG ones, as in the first pics, is desired.

I would like to go on the record and say I have not ordered from this directly before. But, that is why you will use paypal for payment, so the transaction is assured. All of the information above is correct, $790 plus shipping for complete wheel with air bag and 7 - 10 business day shipping.

[FreeGolf]

okay. thanks.

[rick89]

can you let us know when more DSG ones come in because i really would like to get one.

$790 all-in is the blow away pricing.

Most other places you'd be looking at ~$700 for thw wheel plus ~$600 for the airbag.

This is coming from a source through punkA3. The original vendor was the no airbag pricing.

It appears that punka3 is the one who is in discussion with this $790 all-in dude.

[BrillntRed06]

$790 isn't bad, but you can still find these cheaper on german ebay.

[FreeGolf]

agreed. you can SOMETIMES find better deals, but its a crap shoot... i was hoping we could get some real steep discounts considering we have 20 potential buyers.

correct. the two vendors i was in discussion cannot come close to that price. one decided not to participate at all, the other said they can do ~$1200 package deal, or ~$750 for a wheel alone. neither of which are stellar deals imo.

[cleanA3]

Im in for the dsg one , need a better wheel for the wife's car

Will do. I have made it clear that based on the original list, those are the preferred type. I myself included am waiting on one of those. IMHO I like the badgeless aspect too, so I am not a poser

[punka3driver]

Ok. for all those interested in these FBSWs. I will email freegolf the latest available wheels so he can post the pics. I dont know how to post pics on this site as I am lame like that.

To purchase a wheel do the following:

First select a wheel by its photo ID number;

Second, email me, (punkjust@yahoo.com) so I can confirm that that wheel is still available as these are on a first come first serve basis. The vendor usually gets back to me within 12 hours and I will get back to you as soon as I can;

Third, when you receive confirmation from me that the wheel is still available, you will send paypal payment to: katalin.sz@mail.tvnet.hu
Payment is $860 for the complete wheel and shipping. In your paypal payment, indicate the wheel by the photo ID. Also, reference my email address so that you get this price.

Shipping is through Hungarian Post Office and will take 10 - 12 days.

Again, I have NOT used this vendor personally. However, using paypal SHOULD give your payment some kind of insurance. I have dealt with others on this site personally and hopefully they can vouch for me personally. I have all email correspondence with this vendor if any problems arise...however, I am confident that these will be smooth transactions.

Please wait for Freegolf's latest post with the wheel ID's.

As these wheels sell, the vendor will get more, and is actively trying to get more DSG wheels.

[rick89]
