Not Ranked
i would imagine the boys in Provo know that the last standing supplier of aly cars (of any volume) will be the best one with the lowest cost to accurately produce.
To keep the volumes, they must also sell direct, which makes sense. Selling direct allows variations from historical limitations and additional margins, up or down.
No one can easily reproduce their lowest overall costs.
1. Imagine the money and trouble they save because they ship as promised and on time.
2. Imagine making things correct the first time on an NCM, each piece perfect (within the limits of tooling choices).
3. Imagine skipping the paint hassles.
4. Imagine the polishing margins (awful job, polishing).
5. Imagine the lower marginal costs to automate the tooling for shape copying and fabrication.
6. Imagine how smart they must be to able to keep their promises.
