New Lower Prices for Front Fenders at your GM dealer NOW

Well, as I said a few weeks ago, GM has lowered the prices on their fenders. This is on both the 73-80 fenders and the 81-87 (or 91 sub and blazer). I just bought 6 81-87 fenders (three for me, three for my uncle) for a little under the $255 list price each. The list price on the 73-80 fenders is even lower. This sure beats the list prices of over $500 EACH we were seeing a few months ago.

I don't think you can afford to strip an old fender, fix the few inevitable dings and prime it for the price of the new stuff, and they will fit much better than the taiwan tin I have seen selling for around $100 each.

is this some kind of sale for a limited time or is it a permanant thing that the guys making the prices gave up the hard drugs?

It's not a "sale" that I know of, they just lowered their list prices. One thought is that someone realized they were ridiculous, but another might be that they lowered the prices to clear out their inventory so they can make them obsolete and not sell them at all any more. I don't know why they did it, I just took advantage of the fact that they did. My 87 is getting one new GM fender and my 86 is getting two.

Lower Prices

Now if they would only lower the prices on some of the other sheetmetal, i.e. doors, hoods etc. we would be in fat city!
