I dont know if I over paid. Most likely I did. because I was the only bidder. $150.00 for a Hartge dead pedal. Should add to the bling factor. When you think about it was big bucks compared to the Hartge valve cover for $180.00 I bought a few months ago.

Who ended up with those Hartge wheels, new in the box? I wonder how much they paid?

Well, you got a very cool and rare dead pedal. I have only seen like 1 or 2 come up on ebay in the past couple of years, and I bought the 1st one I saw. I got mine for about $80 plus shipping 2ish years ago. Given how rare they are, and the fact that they are just getting very sought after obviously will drive the price up. I wouldn't even think twice about how much you paid for your DP. You got a very cool and rare part that someday will be worth 2x what you paid for it. Congrats, and enjoy it! I installed some E46 M3 brushed aluminum pedals (not sure if they are still avail?) and they look awesome! Just something for you to consider. Also, make sure you post some pics after you get that bad boy installed! :D

Adrian,
Kudos buddy...that will add to the genuine Hartge bling factor for sure. Nice...even if you had to pay $150 for it.
I love the feel of a dead pedal in a sport sedan / car. Reminds me of the difference of wearing regular shoes versus golf
shoes on the links.
Cheers,
Tim

Thanks tim and evan for commenting. I have seen one go for $98.00 about 1.5 years ago but that is the first one I have seen in a while so I went for it. Evan ny intention is to find some cool pedal covers to set if off. Your car looks great with the seattle background!!!
Tim we got to have a little get together for the Canook when he comes down. What say ye!!
