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. |

I knew parts would be fewer for an F-Body than a mustang before I purchased the camaro in late '02. I'm a die hard pontiac fan, but couldnt pass up the price I paid for the camaro.
Part of the fun is modifying the car! Even when I day dream about purchasing a new car I immediately start to think about what improvements I would do after I drove the car off the showroom floor. Relatively speaking, 4th gen F-bodies have many aftermarket parts available compared to more contemporary vehicles. Even first and second generation f-bodies still have new performance parts available. The only used high performance parts that I regularly see overpriced are nitrous kits, LS6 intakes, and blowers. The demand is still very high for these parts as they appeal to the 1/4 mile and street race crowd. Just rambling... |
