I said that new old stock was available but I did not say form dealers. Try Ebay.

I can get oil filters, some engine parts, light bulbs, oil and many other parts form dealers. Some sheet metal parts are available at a dealer for quite some time. Suspension parts are also available for longer periods that software support. I did not say that all parts are available form dealers/manufactures.

You said explicitly the dealer/manufacturer would still provide parts and that is just not true.

I did not see that on previous posts. Some parts are available for quite some time.

No, you said it would be available from the dealers... Here’s your quote:

“Not really. Many parts are available form dealers”

There is no argument you can get used parts and parts in the aftermarket, but you cannot get parts from the dealer for any car made by that manufacturer. ALL manufacturers end of life their support of anything they’ve made.

Just like anyone can call up a computer specialist and pay them money to provide tech support for a piece of software long after the vendor has EOL if they can find one and are willing to.

Reality is, NO MANUFACTURER, none supports their products forever.
