This 50% off sale is killing me.

[3yearplan]

This sale is forcing me (if that's possible) to buy my kit about 8 months earlier than planned. But with a savings of almost $4000 it is really hard to pass up. I've been crunching numbers for two straight days, ugh. So in about two weeks I will be placing my order, if the planets align the way I need them to.

Well Mike, I see your dilemma but a lot of people would kill to have your problem! Hope you're able to pull it off. I did the same thing when I got my kit. I couldn't really afford it at that time but couldn't afford to pass up thousands of dollars of savings. So just pretend that Dave has made you an offer you can't refuse. You will be happy you did (great value). Good luck, WEK.

Damn, I have the same problem. Build was to begin in April 2013. Got the quote yesterday and... yep, saving over $3500!!! pulling the trigger in a week or so but, pushing the delivery out to the end of December.... still need to get the garage prepared for the build. I was giving myself 3 years to build as well! Let the fun begin! it will be a great way to start the new year.

I took advantage of the offer and ordered earlier than I had planned. Expecting delivery in 5 - 6 days. Spending the weekend cleaning and organizing garage. I'm hoping to get one full day / week of work into it. At my level - 3 years sounds about right.

How far can you push out the delivery I wonder ? I too have some loose ends to tie up before the kit arrives. If it is one thing I have learned from this great group of people, they LOVE to spend other peoples money. I'm the same way though. I haven't called yet, but I am wondering if EVERYTHING is 50% off, like powdercoating and cutouts, which aren't exactly items per se, but are still options. My two sticking points are side pipes and seats. To get bare steel pipes and have them coated or go with the polished stainless steel ? Then get the vinyl seats, or the optional leather ones. Are the vinyl ones good quality? Maybe someone can answer that..

I believe they will accomodate you on delaying the delivery.

Mike,

Unless you know exactly that you want polished stainless ones, get the bare steel and get them coated later after you have them fitted. You can get them coated traditional silver or go with black ceramic depending on the color of your car. I'm planning on an under the car exhaust system so I deleted the side pipes from my order but only got $100 credit. I would have been better off just getting the bare side pipes that came with the basic kit and deciding to use them or sell them. If you decide to go with something stainless, you will have several choices.

Both questions are answered in the sale announcement:

"Terms & Conditions:

Orders must accept the next available completion date.
Some restrictions may apply for international orders.

I used the new vinyl seats in a car I built for a customer last year---they're good.

Cheers,
Jeff

You can have it sent to my house!;);)

Well I just finished placing my order. Got a completion date of 10-27, should give me plenty of time to tie up my loose ends in the garage and get it organized.

I placed my order last thursday and was able to sweet talk them into pushing out the ship date to 12/1 (arriving in San Diego, between Xmas and new years)... with a 2K Deposit. Saved myself over $3500.00!! I even ordered a few extra items that I wasn't planning on building in. I'm going the Coyote motor path... I hope that all of the issues are worked out! Signed up for the Build school... Nov. 9!

[efnfast]

Wait 2 weeks and there will be another sale.

I don't get FFR's business model - every day is a sale day, so they're just training customers to wait a few weeks for the next sale.

Congratulations! When I was down at FFR last fall and saw that red Coyote Roadster it was a Depends moment if you get my drift..:D
That motor looks like it was born to sit in the front of the roadster and fast..Like I said, when you get it done and go for your first ride make sure you have your Depends along..:p

Call and ask, I am having mine delivered late Feb. There was not even a question.

[3yearplan]

I ended up with a late Oct. early Nov. ship date. Ended up saving about $3200 with the items I added.

Movieman, Depends it is! Although, I need to stop reading the forums... way to much information, way to many mods have been made that make me very nervous. Don't get me wrong this is a great forum that is very active and I'm sure that once my kit is delivered I'll be out here everyday!
