According to a post on the BenzWorld forum:

The price for 10 Sprint Booster (MERCEDES -BDD 451 - BDD 451A) including shipping costs and custom brokerage fees will be 2.024 Euro.
The price for 20 Sprint Booster (MERCEDES -BDD 451 - BDD 451A) including shipping costs and custom brokerage fees will be 3.835 Euro.

I' d also like to inform you that you may be responsible for additional taxes & customs duties in US.
The above prices are export prices for USA only.

Shipping is via UPS door to door service (Aprox. 5 days delivery).
The payment shall be via bank transfer.

According to my calculations, thats $244.89 per person.

 

Sorry, I was VERY busy today as my neighbor and I were getting our Hot Rod project Chassis/Body off to the powdercoater.

So the price goes UP for 20? what?... okay I'm confused... Are you saying its 2.024 Euro for 10 of them? And 3.835 Euro for 20? WOW! Those things are REALLY cheap!

Here's the deal... I do the currency conversions using the previous answer which was to move the Decimal point to the right two places first... then convert...

10 Sprint Boosters at 2.024 (202.4) Euros = 258.625 US Dollars Total or 25.8625 US Dollars each.
20 Sprint Boosters at 3.835 (383.5) Euros = 490.033 US Dollars Total or 24.50165 US Dollars each.

So... unless I've REALLY buggered my understanding of the quotes...

Here's my answer from Mr. Boulekos... matches the other post from RudoublesC32.
Notice in my quote, there is no decimal at all!!! WHAT!?!?!?

Maybe it means that the decimal in the previous quote is actually a thousands separator?

So, that would make it...

10 Sprint Boosters at 2.024 (2,024.00) Euros = 2586.25 US Dollars Total or 258.63 US Dollars each.
20 Sprint Boosters at 3.835 (3,835.00) Euros = 4900.33 US Dollars Total or 245.02 US Dollars each.

Which actually sounds closer to correct...

Someone from across the pond may be able to shed some light on this for me... PLEASE

...yeah, in most countries the "." and "," are switched (ie $2.697,31 is two thousand, six hundred ninety-seven dollars and thirty-one cents).

(hmmm if these things work I wonder if they would want a reseller in the US...)

 

Add me to the list... Manual Transmission... Let me know method of payment.

 

Once you have the final price, you may want to mark that up 8% and then issue refunds with the money left over. I am constantly ordering shipments (of the same product) from Germany, and I get charged between 1.5% and 8% depending on how some jerk at customs is feeling that day. I'd hate to see the guy who took the time to organize all this get short changed $300...

Just a comment for you folks buying the sprint-booster. I've put a few hundred miles on the car with this installed and it still runs the same as the day it was installed. All I can say is this thing is great. Say goodbye to all throttle lag and slow take-off. I let my son-in-law drive it after I installed it and didn’t tell him I did any mods. When he came back he asked if I had installed a supercharger in it. He could not believe a $300.00 part could make such a change in pick-up.

 

Frank, do you have the manual or automatic version?

 

Count me in. Need auto version.

 

I'm from MBworld.org, please count me in for a manual transmission version of this unit. My e-mail is dtu@purdue.edu

Since I have a MT, I guess I need the "451" unit.

 

b3d_sage,

Thank you for clearing that up... I will do as jpristol suggests and add 8% and send refund checks with the boosters when they ship, that way everyone pays the same.

WOW!

The response to this has been great... even the great in HDDP!

Thanks for letting us know how it's working for yours crossfirefrank! Good to know they just keep on working... maybe they're really made by Timex?

That pushes us over the 20 marker... thanks everyone!

I'm still going to let this run until the 1st so any late comers can still get in on the great price break.

 

Hey... Another from over at MBW... I tried to register under a different name a few days ago, but never got the activation email... Anyways...

I want 2! One for a Manual(C230) and one for an Auto(E500)

 

I'm from MBworld.org as well, please count me in for an automatic transmission version of this unit. My e-mail is mconde01@adelphia.net

Since I have an automatic, I guess I need the "BDD451A" unit.

I have an automatic 2005 C230 Sports Sedan and I live in South Florida. (Palm Beach County)

Thanks....

 

Just put mine in, HOLY CRAP!!! feels like a new car quick on take off, love it.

 

I am from the MBworld forum also. Count me in too. I have a 2006 C230 Sport 7speed automatic. Please send payment info to suresh@skr.com

Thanks

 

At this rate we may have to ask for the price break on 30 of these...

ROFL... what's your budget for this... I may be able to finance one for you...

 

Wow..this group buy is really taking off...i am a very skeptical person...but as many, Many Great reviews this thing has im gonna GO for it...PLEASE put me down for an Auto version.

I CANT Wait!!!

....maybe see if at 30 or more we can get additional $avings???

 

what percent can you finance? Or if you can hold one for me, until I can scrape some cash together. might take me awhile.
