Interesting question and ties in with my concern over an acquisition that fails down the road -- Spyker or anybody else.
In general, the question can probably be answered by looking at availability of parts for cars now out of production. My guess is that the highest volume parts are generally available, either by the manufacturer or an after-market supplier. As demand falls and production volumes drop, cost may rise indeed rise, especially for low-demand parts.
I suspect that manufacturers can meet the letter of the law -- and maybe even the spirit -- and there could still be shortfalls is parts availability, higher prices, or both.
The question is a key driver in the decision to bail out or keep the car. A sale to a company that winds up like Rover or MG would probably leave us all in a seriously difficult position, unless GM makes guarantees in the divestiture for certain parts responsibility. Troubling.
