Innovate SuperCharger Discount up for grabs!!
Hi everyone! This past weekend at 86fest I won two promotions for an Innovate Supercharger, but after speaking to the Sales dept, I cannot combine them =( Oh well. My loss is your gain!! I'm putting one I got up for TRADE.
The discount is for $750 off an Innovate Supercharger. Here is information about the current superchargers they have for sale: STAGE 1: NON-INTERCOOLED STAGE 1 "TUNER" System (Non-Intercooled). This supercharger system includes all the required hardware needed for the installation (Minus the tools). "Tuner" indicates that this system does not include any ECU re-flashing tools or calibration file. You will need to consult a highly experienced EcuTek tuner prior to installing the system. Failure to do so will result in engine failure. P/N: 6010, MSRP $3195 STAGE 1 "COMPLETE" System w/ECUTEK ProECU Re-Flashing Cable & Tune File, & K&N™ drop-in filter! (CARB EO Pending), Non-Intercooled. The "COMPLETE" system includes all the required hardware & ECU calibration needed for the complete installation, minus the tools. P/N: 6011, MSRP $3695 Innovate SuperChargers btw it needs to be used by 10-31-13 so jump on this!! |
hows 200 sound? =]
|
bump for you :)
|
$500 for a $750 discount? ROFL.
|
I'll offer a cold benny
|
can this coupon be used through any vendor or just innovate themselves? it seems like it would negate itself to buy this if innovate charges tax on the 3195....?
|
$500 seems high for a $750 discount (that you got for free). Did Innovate say if this discount was transferrable to another person? It would suck for someone if they bought it from you and then Innovate didn't honor it.

Picture of said promotion / coupon?

You are saving instantly; without doing a thing $250 dollars. I think its more than fair. |
If it were me I'd give it to a deserving member, not sell it. Bad karma...
|
i smell envy people. whatever it is it's her stuff. if you want to save up free $250 then buy it. no need to comment "you got it free and somne has to pay for it" someone will appreciate saving $250 for S/C. if you don't like it then buy S/C paying $250 more. simple as that
|
I completely understand the price but it's the nature of it. If i were given free movie tickets to a theater I dont go to I would give them to a friend for free. I understand though that we are not friends and who doesnt like free money :) I would probably do the same but most likely have asked for less.
|
y not just throw it up on ebay and see what people are willing to give you?

Who cares if its not transferable? Innovate needs to chime in or she needs to post pictures of the disclaimer. |
Wait so if you guys WON a $750 dollar gift card to a store would you be willing to give it away for free?? If you won a $750 gift card to best buy you would be willing to sell it for $250?? Well geez can I be your friend??

The price point is just my opinion. People are welcome to disagree with it.
If this were a gift certificate with no expiration date, I would feel differently about it. The expiration date in October basically makes it a coupon. I would pay more for a gift certificate than a coupon, because the gift certificate wouldn't expire and I could use it when I wished. Whoever buys this, by the time they've spent their money on the discount, will have a $250 discount that they have to use by the end of October. If someone is planning to get an Innovate supercharger before then, it may be worth it. An important point that hasn't been addressed at all is if this discount transferrable to another party. The fact that Innovate wouldn't let her combine her coupons implies that there are some limits to this offer. If Innovate is on the forum and can post a message stating that they will honor this discount if someone else purchases it, that would be best. |

Assuming its transferable, how are people complaining about a 33% discount?

I also PM'ed Innovate to ask them if they would honor the discount if transferred to someone else, and they replied "...we would likely not have an issue honoring it within it's validity period." |
This is a good deal if you are planning to buy a innovate supercharger and not from California. The tax would cancel out the discount of 250.

I balked at the idea of demanding so much money for something you can't use, as there is no opportunity or real cost involved, but I kinda see the merit in it.
Good deal for someone who was already planning to purchase I suppose. |
Will you take a nice cute bunny and maybe 12 subway cookies?

While to many it's only a coupon, this is an opportunity to save a lot on a quality sc kit. At least reward her for providing you with the opportunity to save some cash. |
She drove down from NorCal to burn some serious rubber at the 86 DDA on Saturday, then showed her awesome ride off at 86FEST on Sunday--all before driving all the way back up to NorCal. Prolly wasn't a cheap weekend, but she won a couple of cool things in the raffle - one of which she can't use and has decided to sell at a discounted price from the face value of the coupon. And, she's about to plunk down money for an SC - why is it so terrible to recoup a little bit of her costs while still giving someone else the chance to also save some, too? And who's to determine who's a deserving member? They could turn around and sell it after she gives it to them, too. Don't want it, don't buy it. She's a really nice girl--some of y'all make it sound like she's being mean by offering someone else $250 off an SC.
Personally, I hope whoever buys the coupon enjoys having an SC as much as I know the OP certainly will. I can't wait to get a ride-along in her car at the next event we're at. She's awesome. :thumbup: |

I would buy it if I were in the position to drop the cash on the SC and tune. GLWS! Innovate IMO has the best kit out there for daily driving, which most of us are doing with these car's. The potentially have a great kit for track too, I want to see the intercooled setup they have coming out. Either way $250 is $250. I would rather save $250 than nothing.

She may be the bee's knees and the cat's pajamas, but I don't follow your logic. She made a decision to purchase a supercharger, how does that entitle her to sell an extra coupon that is literally worthless in her hands to 'recoup' the money she's spending on the SC? It would be a 'recoup' if she paid for the coupon. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but if I had something that I got for free that I couldn't ever use or profit from, I'd give it to someone that could. Or maybe I'd ask a finders fee of a few bucks for my trouble. But $500? A little extreme. In any case, I've made my point. All the best. |
Thank you @HotLeopardMama and to others who have commented in like terms, but it is up for trade not sale.

Cali tax is shitty like Washington. 9.7% up there. |

By a "deserving" member I meant a friend in the market for one or someone in your local 86 group. Hell, you could even do a contest on here with something goofy..ie post the funniest picture of yourself and your 86. I dunno, maybe it's just me. I would've enjoyed that thread far more than a bunch of people talking shit over you charging for a coupon. Lastly, when you post something like this on a public forum you open yourself up to the comments and opinions of its members. |
Quote:
If someone is buying an Innovate SC in the immediate future before the discount expires then this will be helpful for them, especially if they're out of state and have no sales tax. If you find someone like this, then it's a good opportunity for both of you. GLWS. |

Nobody is going to buy an new in box (major purchase item at that) from a 3rd party when they can buy the same item from legitimate vendors with full support at less than msrp. There is no reason what so ever to purchase a kit from you at above market price (msrp doesn't matter in the real world). The only reason to do business with you would be to reach a lower point than market price in an amount that compensates for the potential support issues that may arise. People arent dumb, please don't type an essay and make statements about what a kind sharing person you are based on fantasy land economics motivated by $. You want to make a profit, thats great, don't blame you, i'd do the same. But for a $250 savings off the msrp nobody pays I don't see it being worth the hassle or risk. |

I couldn't agree more. Please do purchase two kits and tell us how that works out for you though. Quote:
