This forum is for discussing and, organizing GROUP PRODUCT PURCHASES.............. so let's see how far off the ground this one goes.

A few exchanges have taken place via p.m.'s with the new TGF rep, Catherine McAdam, which consisted of this info:

My original question:
Catherine, would you consider (it's been a while, but has been done before here) offering up a 'group purchase' on hardtops..... since it HAS been a while, with lots of new owners on board, you might be successful in stirring up some renewed interest.......perhaps 10% off, with cradle and cover, if we could get 10 or more to order?
Like I say, it has been done before, so perhaps 'the bosses' might consider it again.
Appreciate your consideration.

Her response:
Hello GenoTex!!! The Management said that I can offer a 10% discount if I can get ten people to purchase the hard tops at in the same order. Can't do the covers though. What do you think?


----------------------------------------------
So FOLKS..here we are... can we get 10 orders?
----------------------------------------------

Hardtops list @ $2960.... this should reduce it to
$2664............ any takers, please express your 'interest' here and then after all have expressed, and we see if we're near ten, then we'll talk 'commitments'. Thanks.

Thanks to Catherine and TGF for the offer!

Cradle included? Price should be specified PLUS shipping? Post bottom line top + cradle + cover is $????.00 + shipping? (a general idea of what shipping costs would be nice as well)
Great going Mr. Tex

Wow Geno...This is something I was hopeing would happen...but DANG...timing is just not going to make it happen for me right now...Just bought my Orange beauty last September and I made a promise to my other half that no major mods would be done until we have her paid for. I've expressed an interest here in the past that I had to have a hardtop someday...and at least 3 folks have contacted me about selling theirs to me...but...I made a promise. 30 more months to go before payoff.

If I'm correct...If you get a product from TGF, it can be bought unpainted, which is the way I'll be getting all my mods. I want em all painted at the same time, for a better paint match. Maybe some other folks would want to do theirs this way...If you don't mind, ask Catherine what one unpainted would cost, with this 10% deal????????

Geno, depending on when this all comes together, I may be interested, Maybe.

According to the TGF price list, when ordering a cradle, the cover is included. I take it that they are throwing in a cradle with the hard top at no extra charge and still giving the 10% deal on the top?

Hope that Catherine can clarify the deal they will be offering.

Thank you Geno in your effort to help out your fellow POA members. I hope you find more than 10 takers.

lol...no.

Top is discounted 10%....cradle (which comes with the cover) is normal price....
$300 is $300 ... at least in my bankbook

okay, we'll put you on the list for adding up to 10, with no commitments made yet....

Just trying to get a feel if there ARE 10 new interested parties here. Thx for the response.

I got this email today:

Good Morning,

Cathrine forwarded your e-mail relating to the 10 orders of hardtops. Shipping for hardtops is usually approximately $240.00. All hardtops are shipped freight collect which means that you pay the freight when it arrives at your door. We can ship with who ever you desire. We usually use Guarantee Freight. I'm not sure if they are the cheapest. If you want to research other freight companies the specifications for this item is:

60 x 50 x 18 crate. Weight: 150 lbs.

Cathrine also mentioned that you will be submitting 10 different orders at one time. Is this correct? Will all these be going to separate addresses? If they are please relay the information concerning freight.

Thank you. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at your convenience.

I would be interested in 1; however, the timing would be better for me if it was after the first of the year.

Geno, As much as I would like to have a top, I will not be able to swing it this year. Sorry! Higher priority expenses are taking the money.

Thank you for your efforts on this for the Prowler family.

Take the 10% discount on the top, add the cradle, tax and shipping and that's what the cost will be. They do a beautiful and quality job on the top.

reg price $3108 (5% increase over old price)
10% off deal $2797.20 (save $310.80)
cradle/cover $189
Shipping about $140 via DHL (my choice - TGF's choice is about $240)
total cost with 10% off $2986.20 + shipping
$3126.20
I'm in, but I'm also looking for a trailer at a reasonable price (wish me luck). And my van is on its last legs and needs to be replaced.

It won't be replaced with anything new, but I can't afford it all, and I'll be out of a job shortly. If we can get this going before I run out of money, I'll take a top. Count me in.
As for liner color, I noticed Catherine stated black was an option. I have heard that the lighter platinum liner made it look a little brighter inside. I like that. I know she said their supplier stopped making it in that color. Can't they find another supplier that would make it in platinum, maintaining QC? IMO, I would go with the lighter color, at least one very similar if we can't get the platinum. If not, a more matching one to the agate interior as opposed to black. I would also like more detailed info on the new pins and how they are better and how they resolve the issues.
