Anyone want to open an Infiniti I30 aftermarket store with me?

Im in Virginia and I think that if someone opened up a store that sold not only factory parts for the I30's but also aftermarket and custome parts for them, they would be Billionairs! There seems to be such a demand for the parts and yet they are so hard to find!

What are everyone's thoughts on this?

DON'T STEEL MY IDEA!!! Just kidding.

Wouldn't this be awsome???

You would lose a money. Better off playing the lottery to get rich.

to quote MikeD in your other thread:

There is actually no market for I30 parts. Over the past year different people have tried to come out with products for us, but there is just not enough people willing to spend the money. Sure, people want the parts, but few are willing to pay for them.

We have maybe 20 guys here that spend decents amounts of money on thier I30/35's. All have different models, different years, different wants/needs....Not exactly a good market.

I tend to agree with him. Infiniti parts are expensive in general, and it's not a high production car. According to the body shop which I took my car into after a truck ding'ed 4 parts of the front driver's side... "insurance companies determine a car as totalled when cost of repairs is [forgot %] and since i30s are not massively produced, parts are extremely expensive. they also have to be imported (referring to oem)."

if you do go ahead with the idea... i wish you lots of luck .

Yes, well for every negative comment about my idea I shall kill you! Just kidding.

Maybe I should forget this idea because I can't afford to go broke anymore than I already am.

Would anyone care to kick me in the J while we are poopoing on my idea????? HUH HUH????

Again, kidding. Have a good day everyone.

It just seems like there is a market for us because you are in one of the only areas with I30/35 enthusiasts.
