Would anyone be interested in this idea...
I'm just putting the feelers out at this point. Anyway, as many of you know, import parts are marked up ridiculously high. Well my friend that runs an import aftermarket business was playing around with an idea. He wants to start an "Import Parts Club". Basically, it would be something like, almost like a sponsorship I guess. People who wanted to do it, would pay some membership fee up front, and then they would be able to get parts at wholesale, or maybe like10-20% over cost or something like that. The requirements would be something along the lines of having to display his companies decal on the car, and go represent at car shows and whatnot. Perhaps there would be yearly dues, or it could be one time fee. It is all up in the air at this point. So basically, you are paying to get into a "club" or whatever, to get all your parts really cheap. If there is enough interest, he will make it happen, as he already has business accounts set up with all the major companies. Any comments/ideas/suggestions?
