Look... people are posting that they want these.
I happen to have a set that I could be talked into parting with. $1,000 is the starting point of discussion for me to entertain parting with them.
There are other people with these on the shelf as well, maybe they will be interested in selling at a lower cost than $1,000 and I would welcome that. Best offer so far for my set is $700. Maybe this will entice someone else to let go of their set (if you are reading this, have a set, and willing to let them go for $700, please post in this thread).
Right or wrong the way I see it...
- This is a high quality conversion with a one of a kind look
- People are still very interested in this kit, and only this kit
- It was the last and best iteration developed, and
- The website is no longer active, so we have likely seen the last of them unless someone buys the molds.
As a Fiero vendor of custom parts, to make a kit of this caliber will cost more the $10,000 in the upfront tooling and R&D. If you profit $100 per set, the first 100 sets have to be sold before you ever turn a profit. It will likely take 5+ years to sell that many sets, if ever.
Remember, there is a reason these kits are no longer available... The person who had the tooling and was best setup to make them at the lowest cost stopped doing it. Maybe life got in the way, or interests shifted, but it could be that the economics simply are not there at the original price point.
