AndreZA Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 After my ride Saturday morning I decided to go and get some quotes for my new MTB. I have decided to get the GT Avalanche 1.0 Disc. It's got a RRP of R6250 and saw that most shop used the number as a starting point. this is the quotes I got. The only negotiation was sking for a "cash price". Linden: ticket = R6250 with discount = R5620Westdene: ticket = R6250 with discount = R5670Westrand: ticket = R6750 with discount = R6250Fritz Pienaar: ticket = R6245 with discount = -5% if I spend it on accessories in the shopCycle Lab: do not stock GT or anything alse in that price range. I must say Fitz Pienaar was the only one that let me ride the bike outside the shop although the gears was not working. But I did know more about the bike and the components then the sales person. At the end of the day I ended up in a computer shop and got me a external hard drive for my PC.
MichH Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 Noooooo.....!!! Mampara you NEED to buy a MTB! we want to take you riding again! Seriously, the GT looks like a nice bike.
Thug Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 Mampara, I know that Cajees is not everyones cup of tea, but give them a call to find out what they'll charge. They generally undercut most if not all bike shops.
DRIVETRAIN Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 Have you tried Solomon's man????? I got my groupset there this weekend and no - one coud beat their price....who knows tell them what prices you got & if they can better it...was worth the drive to PTA for me...SAVE WHERE YOU CAN... "DT"
AndreZA Posted October 9, 2006 Author Posted October 9, 2006 DT, for it to be worthwhile buying in Pretoria you need to save about R300-R500. But I'll give them a call anyway.
ewep Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 Mampara, you can give Anton at Summit cycles in Midrand a call as well.
AndreZA Posted October 10, 2006 Author Posted October 10, 2006 Ewep, I phoned Summit but they don't do GT.
