Parts availability? Posted by ELaw [Email] (#699) [Profile/Gallery] (more from ELaw) on Tue, 18 Nov 2014 09:32:16 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
So as I'm starting to tackle some of my '97 Aero's issues, I'm finding many parts to be unavailable. Places say they're "backordered" but I wonder if that really means the parts will never be available again. Oddly it seems this is more the case for the later cars than earlier ones... if I had an '88 model, I'd be able to get more parts (in the most recent case, wiper arms) than for my newer car!
Does anyone have any idea whether the outlook for parts for these cars is expected to improve?
The fact I have an easier time getting parts for my 1990 Audi than for my '97 Saab is rather depressing...
