are we the lucky ones ie with the half circle speedo that fades? Never hear this issue with the 2 round guages that have the blueish display.
In Europe they changed the cluster in m-y 2004 to the 2 round ones, in NA it was in 2005
I would have expected better from VDO, as I always thought that they were a quality org.

At $66 it might be a nice gesture to the person buying your car because they may not know of this fix and have to spend $$$ for a new cluster. If you are trading it in then let the dealer deal with it

Ok guys so just a few things First off I sent the company an email to see if we can get a better discount (doesn’t Hurt to ask) as well as to make sure they have them in stock and ready to ship. So I Figure to order them Monday the 5TH If that works for everyone. I am going to start an excel document with everyone’s info to make this more organized so if anyone that wants one email me at w230groupbuy@gmail.com (New email account to make this easy) For now I just need your Name and MBWORLD name as well as state or country if outside USA and how you would like to pay (Paypal, Check, Cash if you are local as I know two of you are) I figure I will ship them USPS in the small flat rate box for like $5.15 or something like that but do want to insure them just in case so add like $1 or something I will figure that out when the time comes. If you are outside the USA we can talk about the best way to get it to you. As for my local buddy’s we can do an install party since I have done this before so would gladly help install them. Finally I do plan to order 1 or 2 extra screens just in case they get broken going to your house so we don’t have an issue with getting you another one. So if we don’t need them then I will sell those to whoever comes to the party too late or throw them on ebay for $100 and make some extra cash lol
Well if there are any concerns or questions let me know. I will let you all know when they respond to my email.

Ok just got word from the company We have 16 people on board so far so the total would be 760 Euros. So if my math is correct that would be about $68.04 each. Then about $6 in shipping to get them to your house for the guys in the USA the ones in Canada may be a little more I will get pricing for you individually. So I am going to verify shipping costs and see if there is some conversion fee when I pay with PayPal and see if it a lot or just a few bucks and get back with everyone on final costs. BTW that 68 may be wrong since paypal is giving me $65 a person so we shall see
Thanks Guys

how about an electronic bank transfer instead as that cuts out the little profit that Pay Pal makes on each transaction and it is just as quick but cheaper

Paypal is fine if you send the money as a gift they don't charge anything. I actually have never done a bank transfer if you would like to educate me on how that's done we can do it that way. The other nice thing about paypal is that is how I will be paying for them so all the money will be ready to go straight back out and not have to go to my account and then be used to pay off the Credit Card.

why don't you make a living google excel document that we can just post the info ourselves... that would be easier.
