Bosch 044 or 984 fuel pumps

[JimX]

I might be able to get a limited quantity of Bosch 044 or 984 fuel pumps. Not sure on final pricing yet but they should be around $350 for the 044 and around $250 for the 984. I was originally going to get the 984, but since it's so cheap to get the 044 I'm tending towards that instead now.

Anyway I was just wondering if there would be anyone interested in these at this price. If so please reply here. Please note that this is going to be a one-off! Once I have my pump that's it. The only reason I'm posting it here is because I may be able to order several at once, but they will more than likely have to be the same type. So tell me (in public please, no pm's because it becomes difficult to maintain a tally) which pump you want, and I'll probably get whatever the majority wants (but if there's not much in it, I'll go for the 044).

The reason why it's a one-off is because I have a friend who deals with Bosch but not in their car parts, and Bosch don't like trading to non-auto dealers with their car parts. This is going to be a personal favour to my mate from his contact in Bosch and it won't be repeated! Escpecially since it's also a personal favour to me from him

It's also entirely possible for the above reason that he can only get one (for me) so please don't get offended if this offer is suddenly withdrawn. I'm only offering this to fellow enthusiasts of this forum on the off-chance I can get more than one.

Pencil me in for 1.

I would prefer the 984 but I'm will take the 044 if thats what ends up being offered.

When do you expect you will know more about whether this is possible?

[JimX]

Hopefully by tomorrow, but almost certainly by Monday. If I can get both types I will but I don't think it's likely.

I'd be interested in two 044 pumps, depending on how much

Sorry guys, just got word that I can get one only direct from Bosch (for me, and a lot cheaper than I thought ) However, I still may be able to help.

Firstly, the trade price for the 044 from Repco is $355, and for the 984 it's $245. So if you can, try getting finding someone who can get trade prices from Repco and all will be sweet. Or even if you work for a company that's even semi-vaguely automotive-related you should be able to fax through an order on your employer's behalf and probably get trade prices that way.

Secondly, my mate may be able to deal with Repco because his company may fall into the aforementioned category, but this would be a bit of a hassle and he'd probably want about $20 per unit for his time. So the theoretical price would be a bit more than I originally quoted, ie around $375 for the 044 and $255 for the 984.

The upside to this is if he *can* do this through Repco, there will be no time limit or rush of orders needed. I should find out by Monday if he can set up an account with Repco and get the trade prices for you. But if you can deal with Repco yourself then that'll be better, it'll save some hassles and 20 bucks.

Hope this has been helpful, and sorry about the original offer falling through! (it would have been a LOT cheaper than what I first quoted too )

Edit: Crap! It just gets (slightly) worse and worse! I forgot about the freight cost from Repco to my mate's work, and from there to you. Dunno what that would be but it would be added to the cost. Dealing with Repco youself is definitely going to be the best way if you can swing it but even at an extra $30-40 or so it's still going to be much cheaper than retail.

SKYLNR:

Can you get 044's still or did you mean it was a one off favour?
