Prices seem wild

[LS WUT]

Is it just me or does it seem like anything 03/04 cobra lately seem to just be ridiculously pricey? AM has been out of stock on their 17x9/17x10.5 chrome wheels for ages.. it went from $149.99 to $249.99 now $329.99 and never came back in stock. Maybe it’s just me, but that’s just wild.

They're the AutoZone of mustang parts, I try not to buy anything from them if I can

 

[LS WUT]

I got an email about an updated arrival, so I looked. I generally buy from LMR. They’re out too. Theirs is $259.99 each.

Aftermarket wheels have skyrocketed in price since the pandemic. Doesn't matter what its for.

 

[LS WUT]

That’s also true, I priced out some welds and it was $3,680 for my GT500. I nervously laughed at that one. I’m one slip and fall at lowes away from being a thousandaire!

the prices of steel and aluminum went through the roof... at one point the 10gauge sheets we buy went from 150 to over 700. We were "lucky" and bought everything they had at just over $400 each because the incoming stock was gonna be $600

Car parts in general have been on the rise for a few years even before the Plan-demic. Although, I got my KB for a smoking deal brand new…I got lucky.

Ditto on AM. I never go to their site anymore.

That’s odd, seems like the car itself is dropping like a rock the last 2-3 months.

 

[LS WUT]

I don’t know if I’ve really seen them dropping to much. Seems as though the more they drop I’d they do I’ll just keep buying lol.

Cars definitely arent selling like they were 4 months ago. The housing market down here has slowed down as well. Not dropped but everything has an almost stagnant feeling to it.

I stopped using from AM a long time ago, I agree part prices are up across the board and car prices are starting to come down again.

For sure, I live in Sarasota. So it’s always just expensive here. 2 bedroom apartments are about $2,300 for 800 Sqft.

I really wanted a nice set of 03/04 cobra chromes. However I think I’m just gonna get some chrome Whistlers, or some CP21’s instead.

Which cobra is getting wheels?

It's simple... the FED want to destroy demand.

Do you want to buy them??... ok raise the price more... prices will keep going up until you say, I do not want to buy them.

Micronomics in action.

Mortgage rates will be over 7% by the end of the CY. Possible after the Sept19/20 hike which I’m sure will be .75pts now.

Sellers here are funny. Interest rates are 100% higher than 9 months ago. Their response: cut house price 1%.

Lots of 30-45 days in market with two price drops.

Wait til this hike comes. A lot of people are priced out.

The black coupe. I’m gonna store my wheels on it now for my foxbody. They’re SVE Series 3’s.

Yeah they fell from grace hard. They used to have good products and great customer service. Now they’re garbage.

 

[CobraBob]

Tony, remember when AM had a guy assigned to handle questions and customer service issues here on SVTP? He was online every day. When they pulled him, that was the point they, as a company, took a nose dive. There was a time when AM was a vendor I recommended. Not now.

It’s their customer service that turned me off, they used to be great, then they got the iDGAF attitude. It been at least 5 years since I have bought from them and not going back, too many other parts sources to put up with lousy service.
