I agree. I think the barrier is the idiots that will low ball to the extreme. Nothing wrong with a deal but insults go both ways. It would be like going to the car dealer with a cobalt budget and asking to ride in a zr1 all day and offer 20 grand for it.

It's happened to me too. I offered to sell a brand new part to someone that I have sitting around taking up space. I paid more for the part than a certain vendor now sells them for, and offered to sell mine for slightly less than the vendor. Instead I received an offer to sell it even cheaper, when I have in the past sold the same part for more than I was offered, in used but in working condition, on eBay....not counting the shipping price.

I think that there is a little more to this than meets the eye. The Buick owners that are cheap are cheap by nature and have been that way long before they ever started playing with Buicks. It is a way of life for some people. They blame it on the economy but that is just a plausible excuse.

Sometimes we are being forced to buy un-American due to the fault of the 1st board of directors that let the 1st CEO decide that it is OK to buy un-American just to increase their profits. The whole board, including the CEO should have been tarred and feathered, burned, and hanged by the neck until dead. Now this has also become a way of life in America. Very few companies limit themselves to buying American and looking for profits elsewhere.

Buying American is not the "Yellow Brick Road to Recovery. Re-learning how to make ourselves more competitive in the market.

Unfortunately, quite a few vendors on all forums are now buying un-American to stay in business. This also has become a way of life for even turboBuick suppliers. It started with the 1st supplier that bought a intercooler from an American company that buys American parts and supplies to support America workers and buyers and then sent it overseas to be copied.

I buy the best product that I can afford, but I always try to buy American. Unfortunately, sometimes that is impossible.

Last but not least, American products are not what they use to be.

Well said.... you would be amazed at the number of parts from GM that are made from different countries....one new example that comes to mind is all those new Camaro SS's you see every grille and trunk emblem on them comes from south korea....I know as we buy them to go with a Camaro product we have made.

Take China out of the mix and Walmart would have to close its doors.

Look at the tightly packaged Christmas lites....you really think an American worker would be able to package them like that?

Plus its a well known fact that last year China was the largest buyer of Buicks....may explain why Pontiac bit the dust and Buick survived.....

Its a tough world out there.....

Just a few facts to ponder......
