Dear fellow forum members,
I am seeking feedback on a possible business venture. I am wishing to start a company that has the means to sell replacement parts for Corvettes and Camaros of all years at a substantially lower price than many of the current Corvette retailers. Currently, I have the connections to provide both aftermarket and AC-Delco parts at a great price. I can offer front end rebuild kits, starters, alternators, full line of a/c components, radiators, wheel bearings, some brake system components, some ignition components, and later moving into distributing 'big name' high performance parts. As well as, future in house manufacturing of custom high performance suspension pieces, engine pieces, roll bars, harness bars, and conversion bracketry. PLEASE let me know what you guys and gals are thinking in relation to supporting a venue like this!
Much thanks,
Robert

Seems to me most people check out price first then go for the the highest quality. If all things equall the vendor with the lowest price will usually get the business.
Good luck to you.
Good luck to you.

THanks a million,

Vash,
I noticed your thread on the radiator, I can furnish that part at $140.00. If this is helpful, let me know.
To all others,
Your support is appreciated ten fold, and I wish to have a fully operational business in about two months. Once again thank you.

Vash, That price is fair for a modine. For future reference, I offer a TCI, Thermal Components, radiator that utilizes GM tooling for the tanks and tranny cooler, and a thicker core. Napa is currently seeking a new vendor to supply there radiators and condensors, just FYI. As for the graphics, I REALLY appreciate the offer, yet I already have contracted a party to cover that. As always I appreciate the offer and will always take them with much praise.
Thanks,
Robert

hmn, I wonder why they're seeking a new vendor? Hopefully i wont have my car much longer anyway. Good luck with your business.. I think you won't have a hard time competing with Ecklers, but watch out for Tld, they have an awesome rep

Good luck. But be prepared to have an awesome customer service department set up. Price is very important, but then so is quality service with quality parts.

Bob, I would always rather support someone who was really into these cars personally as they understand what it takes to maintain and improve them. Good luck!
