What's your opinion of the net worth of the entire US ACVW market per year?
Go ahead and cite your sources and credentials, blather on about it.
Please.
Take it world wide if you want. _________________

This sentence makes no sense to me - you should reword it.
Are you trying to guess how much money changes hands per year?
Net worth is a different thing.
Example: Hopefully most people's net worth is more than they make per year. _________________ How to Post Photos

Oops, I guess I'm correct.
Finance is last place you"ll see standardized verbiage.
If I would have said sales, that wouldn't give me what I'm looking for.
It's probably a too technical subject for the forum and privacy issues arise when someone could actually make an educated guess.
These issues come up all the time in the news for markets.
One could go to public incorporated ACVW businesses and look at their public fillings to see what they report to the SEC or to the States in which they are located.
Upon thinking about it, seems right up ICY's alley, I remember some of his rants of financial nature. _________________

Are you drunk polling? _________________ Everybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW.
GOFUNDYOURSELF, quit asking everyone to do it for you!
An air cooled VW will make you a hoarder.
Do something, anything, to your project every day, and you will eventually complete it. |

I'm into drunk polls, so here goes:
If a 100,000 ACVWs change hands each year (highly believable), don't they only have to sell for $200 each to come up with a $20 mil a year market?
One need only look at the unfactored overall 165/70/15 tire business, 19 series battery industry and Craft beer sales to see your market data is incomplete. _________________

I wonder how many ACVWs are left in the USA.. Less than 1/2 million, of all models? I'm too lazy to add up the production numbers of all aircooled VW's delivered to the USA. Most government data suggests that less than 1% of cars remain in existence 30 years after production. _________________ Contact me at [email protected]

Huh?
I didn't say you were incorrect, I said what you posted was confusing.
"Per year" is confusing but I guess with your new text you mean what is the net worth of all the current Air-Cooled VW businesses.
Maybe for the current year?
I don't know how many VW businesses are incorporated.
I bet there are a lot of companies that do not have public filings. _________________ How to Post Photos

Its virtuallly a ripple in the auto parts pond. This is 1.5 year old news.....and with 17 locations only .....most west coasr.......and only wholesale anway .....they were a B2B enterprise.....and not even the primary source for Meyle parts....whose quality has slipped to the 50/50 mark in recent years. ....... ..its just another parts line access for AZ. ....meaning they paid a cheap price for a little more market share.
Usally with aquisitions like the.....you can find a few more parts at,AZ that uou coul before. ...but as soon as they start cutting out slow moving items....it will dry up. Ray |
