Awesome experience buying Mopar stuff from US !!!

[marno]

Hi All,

just wanted to write to let you all know of my great experience buying some gear over the net from the US. After getting quoted $900 for Mopar steel door sill protectors, chrome fuel door and mats by my dealer I logged onto ebay for a look. Came accross Avondale Automotive in the States, and they had tonnes of Mopar accessories for JK's. Anwyay, I ordered the steel sill guards, chrome fuel door and some fitted slush mats, all with the Jeep logo, all genuine Mopar stuff, for the bargain price of $450 including postage. I also got a Trail Rated badge that was like $20. The mats are especially unreal, fully thick rubber with "Jeep" on em.
I did this only 6 days ago, and when I got home from work last night there was a box sitting on my door step. Stoked, espectially considering I am picking up my JK on Friday. Also, beofre I ordered the stuff I had a query for them and a guy called Les emailed me straight back, really good personal service and they kept me informed via email when it had been shipped.
Anyway, I recommed em big time, just log onto ebay.com and search on Avondale Automotive and have a look. :p

You're kidding!!!!

I got quoted $90 for a trail rated badge so I too went to Avondale Automotive and got the Trail Rated Badge, door sills for the 4 door, new mud flaps and a Jeep receiver plug and all for $139!!

You think the dealers would try and be more competitive in today's day and age of e-bay and internet!!

its not really the dealers fault dc bring in the parts n charge the dealer etc so they mark it up so they make $$$ on the acc for cars same as spare parts
the filter for the JK's is $65 bucks the kj i had was $35 and there about the same size :hammer: we got a k&n filter from the usa for $50 australian total
