Anyone bought Cobb AP from them?
Hello All,
I just found that they sell Cobb AP for $600....
http://www.fredbeansparts.com/servle...shi-EVO/Detail
Um, I really wonder why they sell it so cheap, I was going to buy that but kind of scared.
Is there any version different for AP or they are all the same?
Thanks

It looks like its the real deal. I doubt they are an authorized dealer with Cobb.
For anyone interested, we have several in stock for the Evo 10 and are running specials as well.

That isn't price fixing. That is a manufacturer protecting their dealers and the value of their product, and most reputable companies do it. It also protects your resale.
Nothing pisses me off more than seeing some guy sitting at home on his couch selling parts online for 5% margin because some mfg set him up as a dealer. For those of us that have real businesses...that kills us. I have 4000sq ft, a couple hundred grand in equipment, and 5 employees to feed.

personally think that's a good thing, i'm sure if you take your car there for service and you have this as one of your mods they aren't going to and run to tell mitsu that so and so is modding and that's why they thing your car is broken.

they can sell whatever they want to make money. they don't need to fix things that break under warranty caused by a mod when they sell it or not.
there is a disclaimer i am sure somewhere.

The fact is while advertised price is $695, the vendors are undercutting Cobb anyway and the resale value of the AP is suffering. Only suckers pay advertised price on any product and often times the margin is ridiculous. Check over on the Subaru forums. You can get a used AP in the 450-550 range.
NOTE: I also noticed that they changed the price to $695

in the end your pretty much only going to pay $200 or so for it...there is always going to be a need for the used AP and when you move onto a new car i'm sure you can offload it pretty easily. I'm waiting for the live.com/ebay cashback program to jump back to 20% or so. It was back up to 8 yesterday
