Because KLS does their ordering different than others, the price on GP will NOT be going up. Plus we are having a sale until the 1st of January. $500.00 off any new chassis, kid kart to GP8 with ceramic OR steel VEN 05. As well as our NEW 30mm chassis. Also most our parts are cheaper than CRG.
As always, we offer financing to all of our customers.
After the inventory at KLS runs out the price MAY go up. BUT, That will be a while. Their inventory is DEEP as a container landed at their door late summer!AJ Noud
AJ,
That is good to hear…kart pricing is already crazy! We to are having a sale until the 1st… $501 off any new chassis…. 😀 😀
Looks like a good opportunity for a chassis to be made here in the good ol USA. I wish we could quit sending are hard earned money overseas. Wishful thinking I know with this global economy.
Margay’s are American made, good quality and very fast. Get yours from Brad at IMI.
Margay Karts have been very successful in IKF and WKA for many years. And, Oh buy the way, a Margay kart was driven to the Mini Max class championship at this years Rotax Grands.
While there are some parts we just can’t get on this side of the pond (such as fuel tanks), there is a movement of production back to the US. The problem with the Euro is not going away. We are certainly looking to bring the frames back to this country. Right now, we have more domestic content than just about any current sprint kart supposedly made in this country. It will be more very soon.
I was just in Florida for the PRI show. While nothing is finalized, rumors were flying of double digit percentage increases. I talked with all the top importers and they all said the same thing. Big increases. The manufacturers are going up a modest amount (5-7%) but the dollar has lost almost 20% of its value this year. What all this means is that for new current year product, they have to raise prices significantly. I heard numbers in the 10 to 18% range. We will see if that’s true.
We are under no pressure to raise the prices on our products that we make here. Our raw materials have not moved upwards at all. Unfortunately as I’m sure it is true for most of you, wages have not moved upwards significantly either. We do not anticipate a price increase for our products next year. For the stuff I have to import, that is a different story.
It is getting to be a very good time to buy American.
From the little experience I have, I saw the CRG axles go from $320.00 to $520.00 this year.
That’s a 62% increase not 7 or 20 percent.
I would be glad to loose 20 cents on my dollar and still make a 40% profit on top of the profit that was there to begin with. Something isn’t right.
How did Margay do in Race results this year?
At the Rotax Nationals, World Tag event and the SKUSA Nationals, where was the big Margay Team Tent at? I must have missed seeing it.Funny that the WKA 4 stroke speedway rules still have their #1 rule in their book that says, Only American made chassis allowed.
Then some of our rule makers for our sprint racing are working at making sure the cheap China karts aren’t allowed in competition.
