Default Castrol Syntrax Group Buy £5.50+vat & postage

Right, I have contacted Guy at Opie Oils to see if they would be interested in a group buy on Castrol Syntrax.

Here is the reply
__________________________________________________ ____________

Hi,

Thanks for the mail.

Always interested in a group buy, we have plenty of Syntrax on the shelf, the more people interested the cheaper we can do it.

Regards

Guy.

So lets get the ball rolling and see how much discount we can get!

Ayde - 10 x 1 litre.

Waiting for a price, think he wanted to see how much interest there is first, their usual price is £9.99 a litre with free delivery on orders over £35 which is already cheaper than Halfords but seems about the going rate for the stuff. Just emailed him so hopefully we might know tomorrow.

I will email them this list, thats 45 litres now - lets hope thats enough to get a discount.

P1 Drifter - no worries, think once we get some prices through this may get more interest?

If your doing the rear diff you will need about 4.3 litres total, 3.5 for the g/box and 0.8 for the rear diff.

Here we go! I think that is a good price I think we are best ordering direct from Guy.

Here is the email:



"Hi

I am prepared to do it at trade which is £5.50 each plus vat

I will need a nominal carriage charge if these are going to be sent to more than a single address of £5.99 for up to 10kg per order.

All will need to call me to order as these prices are not available on my website

Regards
Guy"
