February 2019 Rock Auto Clearance

[Fierofool]

Rock Auto has announced a Clearance Sale on Fiero parts.  Going on now.  These are the links for my two Fieros, but there are clearance sales that apply to all Fieros.

Those don't appear to be links.

They were in my email.  I just cut and pasted.  I didn't test the post to see if the worked.  Sorry.  Here's the good ones.  You can put in the year of your car and do a closeout items search, but the 86 and 87 will cover the early year V6's and some of the L4's.

PK -
Have you had bad experience when ordering from RockAuto?
For myself, I have to say it has been nothing but good, with good prices for products AND for shipping.
Here is the peculiar thing: If I use my old address in the US, I get higher prices for products, but of course lower prices for shipping. When I enter my German address, the product prices are much lower, but of course shipping is a bit more expensive, but overall, the total price for parts ordered for Germany are lower than if ordered for the US.

Now if you figure out how much shipping is from DE to UK, while the UK is still part of the EU (before BREXIT  ), it might be worth it to have parts you need shipped to me and I can repackage them and send the across the Channel for you.

Just a thought.

I used them for a while when I rebuilt all the suspension components 15 odd years ago but after several consecutive bad experiences I decided never again.

They sent wrong parts, damaged parts and finally used/damaged parts ...all of which still had the associated cost of postage and import duty regardless of the part being of any use.  Of course returning the parts just doubled the headache...followed by the hat trick of headaches as the correct part still required.  What a fiasco.

Very kind offer though Donster.  Given my terrible memory in another 15 years, I will have forgotten rockauto and will probably wonder why I haven't ordered from them before.

The "arghhhh" post was more out of frustration at seeing so many goodies that are not so easy to obtain!!!  Its probably even worse for you as at some point I guess they were easy to obtain.

Rock Auto seems to be hit and miss.

I have been very happy with my orders through them. I got my big trackday corvette rotors from them on close out and they were super cheap and way better than I could have expected to get for that money anywhere else.

[GTRS Fiero]

Absolutely.  There are many reports of satisfied customers.

Trust me PK, I recognized the frustration in your comment. 

And yes, when I still lived at home, getting parts was sooooooo much easier and sometimes sooooooooo much cheaper.

Such is the life of owning an exotic import.   

[PK]

We only have ourselves to blame.

[Donster]

Well PK,

As it now seems that BREXIT will take a bit longer than originally planned, my offer stands and you have more time to take advantage of it! 

[PK]

Thanks D, very kind.  I have all the bits needed either here or on the way.

They did have a very shiny looking starter motor on rockauto that had me seriously tempted.  Noubt wrong with the old one just starting to look tatty but managed to resist and will just give the old one a spruce up for the moment.
