Trade Club versus Trade
16. Jul 2011 at 15:48

Hve been thinking about getting a Trade Club Card through Autobahnstormers. However at the moment I get trade price on all the bits and pieces I need for my Siggy and SWMBO's Corsa (and previously on my much missed f/l Mig Elite). I get trade prices because I have known one of the parts guys at the local Vx dealers for over 30 years and I always make sure I see him when I want something!!
Question is - do I really need the Trade Club card in view of the above. Are the prices for all items able to be brought with it cheaper that the trade prices I can get?
Perhaps Andyc on the forum maybe the guy who can give a definitive answer on this one? TIA

So there is a good argument for having both. TC also gives you access to their online price list - but it only covers parts that are included in the TC scheme.

I could have done with a trade card recently. I went to Jnc600 in Bradford, cause the chap usually gives me stuff at trade price. Another bod served me this time, But I still thought I would get the good deal. So I got a pack of 4 bottles of oil for the Omega, and a pack for the Wife's Corsa and 3 oil filters.

Its cheaper going to Halfrauds
