If a company is out of business and money, how are they going to make parts?

When the creditors confiscate machinery in lew of money owed, how can a company make parts. This is just an impossible situation.

IF this was true, why only cars? Why not legislation for my old microwave, TV, computer ect.

I'm old, I heard this stuff 55 years ago. I didn't believe then either.

If you can show me actual law, well then.......but I wouldn't look for it, it is just not possible.

A lot of car makers went out in the fifties. Aftermarket manufactures kept parts flowing only as long as they made money. After that, it was done. Buyer beware.




just answer me this
what is out there to stop what i just mentioned from happening?????
i'm not scouring the internet
its just logical that this law exists

if that law did not exist,
there would be no replacement parts ever made from a car manufacturer period.
they would have no motivation or reason to.
would they rather sell a lousy part or another new car?
they make parts because they have to by law...
you think they make parts from the kindness in their hearts? yikes

i'm sure when a manufacturer goes bankrupt then
the laws change for them in court.



Less emotion more facts required here. Many reasons service parts are made by OEM manufacturers. Mostly for $$$$ though. Service parts sell for 100-300% more than OE price.
