I’m being told that the price on the EPS kit has changed from the price listed in this thread to $320 plus shipping?

It might be due to parts cost, it was always an estimate on his side, different places will charge different prices for the unit itself, I have zero control over any of that, he was just nice enough to accept helping out doing these kits for us.I’m being told that the price on the EPS kit has changed from the price listed in this thread to $320 plus shipping?
Its not alot more and sorry it is more, ask if thats a bulk cost or if it will go down when a few jump in st the same time as he ssid to me he was able to reduce costs if bulk buying and such.Dang. Well thats quite a bit more. I’ll have to think about it now. Thanks ec17pse.
I contacted him as well and he said $320 + shipping which I think is still plenty fair for what we will be receiving.
Any further details other than price?
I never got any mention of trial , all i got was single kit and bulk discount,Its $80 more than the initial cost expectation. I do consider that a substantial amount more than was expected. Either way, I did ask about it. He said that he had explained it to you that the first two kits would be priced at the $240 as “trial kits” and then the bulk price would be somewhere around $280 for the rest. But then quoted $320 plus shipping for the cost. So I guess I’m not sure at this point of the cost is $280 or $320 but he was very prompt, professional, and polite when I emailed him today. I may just eat the extra cost just based on that.

I am well aware of what the ad said. Currently, I was ok with $240 for a batch job. Now its venturing into territory where I can choose other options. I feel like this option may be less of a value than initially expected.I think you needed to read the initial ad closer. Bobby said $280 for a single unit and perhaps $240 if you went to Mr. Cole as a group batch. $240 was never promised $280 was the number. So the increase to $320 is a $40 difference for a process where someone is going to take your column and modify it by hand and it includes the EPS unit. If the price had doubled or something I might understand where you are coming from but in my mind it's still a bargain.

Well I'm sure we will all be very interested to see what other EPS "options" you come up with for under $320 without doing the fab work yourself.
I am using a column from an '07. Are there advantages to using the newer units? I have not seen any information about the design changes... Very curious
I'm curious if that module you are getting off ebay is sending CAN messages to the Yaris column or if it is just giving an analog input to it that is adjusted by the knob. If it is not CAN then that is definitely the simpler way to go and you could always piggyback your own control (arduino or standalone ecu) in place of the manual control knob so you could change assistance automatically with speed of the vehicle, etc.
Does anyone have the exact part number or model/year car of the EPS unit being used by Mr. Cole in his conversions?
