How old is the car? I was under the impression that spare parts had to to be stocked for

Oh that 'rule' is either long gone, or just being ignored. I have a
mechanic buddy that tells tales of people with cars only a couple years
old that he cannot get new parts for. The cars aren't even paid for yet,
and he's calling dismantlers trying to find replacement parts.


Imports?


Granted, this is not all that common, but sure sucks if you have one of
these vehicles. Just another reason to avoid cars loaded up with tons of
whiz-bang features. Yeah, it's mostly the accessory stuff that seems to
fail and not have replacements available.

I thought we were talking about US built vehicles? The last couple
Fords I saw were built in Canada.
Mine was built in Kansas City. Actually all 3 of my last Fords were
built in Kansas City.
Crown Vics were built in Canada.
