[quote][i]Originally posted by antnee[/i] In the automotive supply industry, the company which makes the component during production life of the vehicle will do so to the standards required by and agreed with the OEM (Car manufacturer). When the vehicle production is stopped, the company supplying will sometimes build the required 'stock' for the OEM to hold on to or the tooling will be sold onto another company (sometimes the likes of unipart) who will make the 'spares'. I think the much cheaper versions may come about if the tooling is sold on again and by that point the tooling is probably well past it's design life and the quality of the materials probably won't be as good, so the parts can be made much cheaper and sold much cheaper. FYI, I work for a tier 1 & 2 automotive supplier to JLR, Volvo, Nissan and Toyota. [/quote]
