Has anyone else noticed that used aftermarket parts availabilty has gone up quite a bit? And has anyone noticed that parts sales seem to be way off?
I see longtube headers for sale and there are zero replies. OF course, in many cases, owners are asking 80-90% of retail. They must be smoking crack. Camshafts and heads are in abundant supply ... but again, way over priced for used parts. It appears that the mod market might be drying up a tad for this platform. Stands to reason ... it's been out of production for 2 1/2 years. I just find it interesting that parts are becoming more abundant, both retail and used, yet the costs are not coming down. |

Interesting observations....
Stands to reason that as the last of the newer cars age, go out of warranty, etc., the market for modifications will mature to some degree, and eventually peak. I think that's why we've seen vendors scrambling to add other platforms to their menu of parts. |
