Title: How about a Vx price list thread?
Post by: The Barge Captain on 09 November 2006, 00:05:30
This one may be up to the Mods, but how about a thread or sticky where members can post about how much items from their local Vx parts counter cost - with or without TC. This would be a useful guide for how much to averagely expect to pay for common items.
For example - cambelt kits, HBV's, brake pads etc.

Would be useful to have prices in one place for easy reference, Cap'n.

I also think it would be useful to pool info on aftermarket "bargains" as well.

I'd agree, sounds like a good idea. I'd suggest putting the date of purchase as well so that people know how long ago it was bought

Cheers Jim

This sounds like a plan to me.  It may also be useful to do other Vaux suppliers, like Autovaux for example

Sounds like a great idea  :y - but needs to be easily searchable.  Probably need to keep record of engine model/year/size/trim.

It's nice to know what to expect VX to say when you ask the dreaded question 'how much?', and if it's worth taking out life insurance before you do.

I think it would be a nightmare to keep up to date and manage...  ...my own personal views though.

So is there a way we could assist Jamie - maybe by pm`ing someone with the info who compiles it weekly/ twice weekly  before passing to a mod  ? Just a though?

I reckon there would need to be 5 elements to the list - description, part #, cost, TC/non TC, date

Which part of the forum would it be best to post this in?  This must be one for the mods to decide.

Sound sensible, might want a sticky in general help and chat redirecting people for a while.

Personally, I don't think we should need to put posts in other areas pointing to it. We should know where to look  :P
