Quaife price increase - CEG Archives

Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives

From TH... As of today, without warning, Quaife america upped the diff price by $200!!! This will reflect in my price so the days of a Quaife for under $600 have gone. SP and BAT are also blindsided by this increase. For those who waited....they waited too long!!!

doh! Looks like the Torsen/Quaife decision is easier to make now.

There's always Torsen, right?

Atleast it isn't what the SHO guys have to pay! I think it's somewhere in the neighborhood of $1400!!

For the SHO yea that's about right. Crazy. Thank god for the Focus!

Torsen is, as usual, on back order...only 1 out there
...and it's mine!!!

Pff, even more reason not to mod a contour.. getting to pricey, headers.. 600+ quaife 800+... next thing you know a trubendz will cost 1300...

Supply and demand.

Glad I'm almost all set on mods.

For the escort, it's $1500.

I hope there are some Torsens out there and at their current price when I'm ready for one.

The euro doing bad or what.I got my torsen when bat closed down for a storm for 500 dollars. Got lucky...finally

Well then we don't have it TOO bad. $800 for the Quaife is still less than what most Contours are worth, unlike the $1500 for an Escort.

LMAO!

Now I'm gonna go cry in a corner.

Luckily I just got all my stuff. Built tranny by TH W/quaife $1800, Headers $200 and Trubendz for $310. Just in time sounds like

Nope! Last I checked, $1 will net you 0.82â�??¬

FYI....Quaife parts are in UK Pounds not Euros(Quaife
is in England,they do not use the Euro).The current
exchange rate is around $1 = 1.726 UK Pounds.I'm
checking to try to find out the 'why' for such a large
price jump.....

Todd ... you've got your numbers totally backwards . 1.73 USD equals 1 GBP . BIG difference

Yep,

Its been pretty solid about 1.7:1 GBP:USD for over ten years. In fact, when I went there in 1996 and to Ireland, it was 1.69:1 and the Irish Punt was about 1.73:1.

In 2000 it was a bit lower but still seems to hold in that area.

It was nearly the same when I went to England in '03

. I WISH it'd been 1 USD to �?£1.73 ! It's really a kick in the guts when you change a whole bunch of your money for a much smaller pile of that "funny money"

Yeah. Be careful what "coins" you throw down. We Yanks aren't used to jangling much more than quarters in our pockets, but over there that ringle-jingle can be worth quite a bit!

Didn't they used to be about that price ($800) a few years ago?

Yup, then the Focus came out and dropped the price substanitially.
