unilec 57 Report post Posted July 28, 2020 For a while now I have noticed nos parts in Aussie going through the roof, such as these: https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/edgewater/other-parts-accessories/mustang-1969-70-boss-429-autolite-spark-plug-wire-leads-3q-nos/1253200910 And this. https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/reservoir/auto-body-parts/falcon-xr-xt-gt-genuine-nos-steering-wheel/1253417837 Question is are nos parts being priced way to high.

Ridge Runner 1,112 Report post Posted July 28, 2020 Unless you are doing a concourse ,or very rare car some of these guys are unrealistic on the pricing ,i know most parts are getting harder and harder to find in new old stock but there is still a limit when most people will say that is not worth it . You will also find some of the new old stock parts like chrome have issues ,rubber parts are usually hard and brittle . You have to remember this stuff has age on it so how long will it last on your car Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mach1 Driver 560 Report post Posted July 29, 2020 Based on 450 annual owner-operated hours and $4.25-per-gallon fuel cost, the BOEING 747-400 has total variable costs of $7,812,774.00, total fixed costs of $851,244.00, and an annual budget of $8,664,018.00. This breaks down to $19,253.37 per hour. RANGE: 7,898 NM / 9,088 SM PRICE: $20,000,000.00 How much does it cost to run a cargo ship? The easy number people use to valuate ship operations is the daily cost. This can run $25,000 to $85,000 per day and more, exclusive of fuel cost. Maybe we should dig a tunnel with gas stations every couple of hundred miles...ahh its about 9400 miles Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
