Thule or Prorack (whispbar) roof racks for gen IV sedan

[teflon]

Thought I'd try my luck here although previous WTB for these items were fairly unsuccessful judging by a quick search.

Am getting back into cycling, and found a bargain Thule freeride on gumtree... now I just need the roof racks! Am after Thule or Prorack Whispbar if anyone is looking to offload theirs... or any other model compatible with the Thule freeride.

Can pickup in Brisbane/GC/Sunshine Coast area until the middle of Dec. Can also pickup from Adelaide as I have family there. Willing to pay for courier if anyone in other states has a set.

Looks like I'm not the only one getting back into riding

I just ordered a set of Whispbar off this guy:

$285.00 + $20.00 shipping I found was the best deal around. $350.00RRP.

EDIT: Looks like he just upped his price by $12.00.... (maybe he lost out on shipping my purchase )

Yeah I saw that one too tek... That is about the cheapest going around (sounds like you got a slightly better deal though! ). The only other option to get a cheaper new price is to wait for one of supercheap auto's sale for the prorack brand or hope that thulebotany has a sale soon (they've got some of the bike racks for sale at the moment if you're looking).

What kind of cycling are you getting back into?

I ordered the Thule 591 carriers there for 198 each free shipping when most places 239+shipping

Although not listed on their site check if they have the racks you want.

Great find on the proride!

They seem to have the whispbar which is what Clarence had on his sedan and is compatible with the Thule bike carriers...

Thanks for the links. I'm getting into road cycling... went clipless pedals for the first time on the weekend - had the obligatory slow motion clipstack just as someone drove past.

Repco have 30% off the Prorack P bar. They also have 20% off for automotive members this month so I plan to pick up the Prorack P bar or Whispbar with one of these offers. From what I've read, I think I need the Whispbar with the T lock function to make sure the bike carrier fits... will see if the local repco has stock or can order it in.
