Default TEIN Garage Sale in Downey...

Garage sales tend to suck, but this one could be worthwhile....

Has anyone ever been to these sales? I wonder if they're worth it. And it's cash only? I'd be scared to carry $1k+ in cash.

Been to the APEXi one for years.

Then recently the GReddy one a couple of weeks ago, which was their first in 10 years. and it was nuts. Stood around in line for 5 hours. Came out with only one thing. The first group of people pretty much bought it all.

It's worth it, if you are the early bird. When I mean early, I don't mean show up 1 hour before it opens.

I'm anticipating this will draw a HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEEE crowd.

It's like Black Friday for car enthusiasts... I don't think I can handle 5 hours in a line just for one thing...

I'd wait all night for some good priced coilovers. But will they have what I want is what I want to know. I'd hate to wait hours to find out they don't even have what I need.

the bigger discounts are probably for those coilovers that no one looks for. Like for suzuki cars and what not
