Clarification: OEM + DIO... Posted by vtsnaab [Email] (#26) [Profile/Gallery] (more from vtsnaab) on Sun, 10 Jan 2010 11:16:27 In Reply to: OEM parts - panic starting ?, vtsnaab [Profile/Gallery] , Sat, 9 Jan 2010 17:52:24 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
My indie was telling me about the fact that his parts suppliers called *him* regarding scarcity of Saab OEM-only parts.
Granted they want to SELL as much as possible and that is a workable strategy for pushing sales.
My personal concern revolved around whether the exact throttle cable for my car was a 'dealer item only' part.
Many years ago I worked at a Bap-Geon foreign parts store and the reality of some parts being 'dealer item only' still remains to this day.
I know how to make cables well enough, and that the plastic adjuster is the broken part would only slow me down a little bit - but it is fixed well enough for now and my question was merely how that conversation got started.
My point in posting the subject was merely to let the folks here stay informed of the small bit of current news I had been told of - that's all.
I do NOT advocate panic buying.
And as for my Aero - I will keep it running and driving until it is pried out of my cold, dead hands !!!
