Question by qaz: What car company has a good reputation for having parts for old autos made by them?
I heard it’s good to have a car from a good car company that after time will still have parts for your old car. Does anyone know which car company is the best in this standard? I think local mechanics would know best. I plan on getting a car and stick with it for a long time.
Thank you in advance for your help
Best answer:
Answer by mister ss any american car has parts for at least 10 yrs. and then if the car is popular the aftermarket builds parts for it, you can build a complete19 66 or 67 chevy chevelle from the ground up if you have the frame as the aftermarket makes all the parts you need.

Becoming A Used Car Dealer – Much Harder Than You Think
Before even scheduling to venture into the used car dealer business, you have the choice to start small and sell a few cars or choose to go bigger as a used car dealer and maybe a used car wholesaler. To start with, a visit to the licensing bureau is recommended.
To be doing well in this line of work, you have to know the ins and outs of the business. First you must develop a knowing eye that can effectively look for the negative sides of a used car. Important things to consider are the paintwork, to even the frame damage of a car, which may be due to an accident. Any dealer would tell you that they have acquired their proficiency of the trade by way of experience such as inspecting cars by crawling inside, or under the car, over the car, and then driving it and devising schemes to determine the value of a used car.
The used car business is very tricky. It eats-up a lot of your time just learning the language of the trade. There is a whole bunch of related aspects, like how to select a quality and mechanically sound vehicle if the wholesale price is acceptable. You must then reconsider, given an expected margin of profit, would it be wise to buy the car now and sell it later. How much will be spent reconditioning the car to command a really satisfying price? All these relevant questions could be given meaning, only if you are involved in the used car business.
For a lot of people they do not have the time to go into learning the tricks, the trades, and the language that all come with owning a used car dealership . We would highly recommend that if your not 100% serious in putting in your time, than you are better off just quickly unloading your car for some easy and quick cash. Why go through all that paper work, learning the tricks, figure out what or where the deals are. People quickly find themselves well over their heads, and 9 out 10 times getting completely taken from in the used car business.
The process of reconditioning the cars start at repair bays. The used car dealer will have to deal with labor, equipment, car parts, car ovens and repainting, mechanical repairs to make the vehicles in tip-top condition before they get displayed in showrooms. You also have to deal with financing companies to arrange for easy purchase deals with buyers. There is also the case of trade-ins, or buyers needing your reconditioned cars in exchange for their old ones. Having picky buyers will also be an added aspect you must deal with. So before you decide to make it big in the used car industry, reconsider all of the little things that make’s this a business hard to run.
