Wow,
Posts flying faster than I can keep up!
Manny, don't take this wrong, but your first post made me dizzy
Evan, glad to see you are alive and kicking!
Good thread on the topic!
I have been thinking of "how I would sell" a SAI made in SA, or "how I would sell against" a SAI made in SA. Everything has to be sold, and sales people always find a way to "hawk" their product when comparing it to another similar product.
If I am SAI, I promote the fact that it is a CSX car. If I am another company, I use the method of comparison to sell against it.
I saw a post about Mr. Mike's ERA. Keep your car, it is beautiful! IMO, a car like Mr. Mike's is worth more than other cars, because you can see the quality of the assembly. If someone thought they wanted a Cobra, they would look at more than one brand regardless of name or price. Price and quality will still be issues for buyers. That will mean choices.
If the current distribution for SAI is used, how many more people will they sell to? Can they reach the "new buyer"? How does the purchase of AC by SPF fit in to the mix?
I am not picking a fight here (for a change...
), only asking the questions that only time will answer.
Eric
