Coming to SoCal... any interest in a cruise install party? - Smart Car of America Forums : Smart Car Forum

I'm going to be coming down to the Los Angeles area sometime between mid-September and the end of December. Haven't figured out exactly when yet. 'll be down for about a week so I'll have plenty of time to do some cruise control installs if there's interest.

What makes this one different then all the rest of the trips we do, is that it should be quite a bit cheaper for you! This is because usually the travel costs have to be split among the participants. Because I'm coming down for personal reasons though, I'll be paying for my own travel and accommodations and other related expenses! Typically, the lowest price people pay for installed kits has been $480 - that was for the largest similar event we've done. I think we can do quite a bit better here! The chart below gives an idea (the first few's a joke obviously - I won't bother with the headaches for too small of a group):

1 participant = $1,200,000 each
2 participants = $440,000 each
3 participants = $650 each <-- note this is still less than normal installed price anywhere!
4 participants = $600 each
5 participants = $550
6 participants = $500 <-- typical best deal group installation price
7 participants = $480 <-- absolute lowest price only offered once before
8 participants = $465
9 participants = $455
10 participants = $450
11 participants = $445
12 participants = $440
13 participants = $440
14 participants = $435
15 participants = $435
16 participants = $430
17 participants = $425
18 participants = $420
19 participants = $420
20 or more participants = $415

All above assumes a well organized booking where we fit 12 installations into a day. So if there are 12 or less, it has to happen on the same day. 13 to 24 must be over two days (not necessarily consecutive, given that I'll be down for a week). In case this gets wildly popular, I have to set a hard cap at 36 participants - but I doubt we'll get even close considering there's no event to tie into.

CASH ONLY paid at time of installation. Exact location, time and date TBD - I'm flexible. If you're interested, say so. If you're really interested... get others over here! Remember that the more the ball gets rolling, the less you pay and that only a SMALL FRACTION of the people will ever see this message unless YOU point them here!

Note: If/when this does get rolling, I will need a volunteer or two to help out a little with organization and locating a good installation location. There aren't any real requirements with the location - the biggest issue is having permission.

Several folks took advantage of Steven's offer last year at the Wisconsin Dells event - it's a good deal and you'll learn a lot about your car in the process.

Above prices are INSTALLED prices... not kit only. Regular KIT-ONLY price is $479.99 plus shipping. So the savings are considerable. Consider that many people have paid up to $1000 for this kit installed!
