Leaving tomorrow. Anybody else going?
put a herd of drunk, millionaires together at a classic car auction, get them a little more DRUNK, and see what amount of stupid stuff takes place!
then watch the asking prices on CL go even more stupid!!!????????
Correct! When there is no money for your investment you do not invest. You can call it a "hobby" to try to keep prices low all you want. Markets follow money makes no difference bond market or aftermarket. Want to know why the aftermarket builds gm and ford first? They don't sit on the shelf waiting for the clearance sale.
ALL true, and also the G M guys love that their repop parts are SO much cheaper and available than our mopar stuff> fact. mopar guys have always had it tougher, anyway you look at it!
Found this out a few years back
One reason that our repop parts cost more is the way chrysler makes the manufacturer jump thru hoops to get approved.
GM has always been big in the aftermarket parts, chrysler will not release the rights to some parts making it impossible for anyone to manufacture them.
So it isn't the person wanting to make them just wanting to rape us for their parts. It cost them more to make.
A buddy was making Prowler custom parts and he was told he couldn't use his own car to display custom parts for the car without paying them for the image
Thank the corparate lawyers for some of the issues.
