where to get a porter cable, and how much?

[easytease]

so as the title says. Ive seen a few on ebay for £140~ with sonus pads.But with the current exchange rate i'd assume i could get it a lot cheaper from the states. anyone know where, and exaclty how much inclusive of postage and taxes if possible) ive tried amazon.com they wont ship. and i cant make head nor tail of autopia's international shipping.

autopia.com is where they get the PC's from in america - thats where i got mine!

 

[mwarrey]

Theres a guide on how to import a pc on detailingworld.com (and a discount code from autopia is available to members I believe)

might be worth a post in the group buy section too mate, pretty sure there'd be some interest in it

 

[easytease]

ah good idea! so anyone wanna run the hassle of doing a groupbuy?

I'm looking to buy a Porter Cable at the moment. Its a bit of a mine field, you need a 110v - 220v transformer as well (I think).

I'd be up for a group buy Not got a clue how to run one though.

I was going to order one with pads etc http://www.autopia-carcare.com/pc-7424.html the postage is $60 so works out about £150.00 inc postage not too bad!

Hold the phone !

I've just checked out this site http://http://www.properautocare.com/basporcab74p.html

for the basic PC on its own with no transformer its coming in at $149.95 - it actually says "on offer at $129.95" but I cant get the check out page to say that.

And the bonus is that for May its FREE shipping. Not convinced that it will apply to UK deliverys But the Checkout Page has my address, just waiting for CC number, and its still saying $149.95 :thumbsup:

So by a rough calc that makes it about £80

I've not ordered one yet but my credit card is twitching.
