Well, I have a few parts vendors out there poaching the good stuff on a regular basis. Then they go to the Carlisle Import Car Show each spring to sell off their inventory. Meantime, they install used parts in their used car inventory when they "Mechanically recondition" them.

I think it's also a matter of these 240's getting older and less disposed of. They were passed down to the college son or daughter of the last decade and landed in the yards during the mid to late 1990's whenthe rust got the best of them.

It never used to be a factor of churning inventory where I shop. You could find the same cars there from Spring through Fall. Even the next year for some.

But to visit three places and find nothing good. That seems like a supply drought.
