YES! I understand why we are all in denial about it, but Isuzu's withdrawal from the US market is a fact with consequences.Originally Posted by MSHardeman
I was at my Isuzu/Audi dealer the other day with my wife's A3, and got to chat with my two service writer buddies there. They have another Isuzu customer that is waiting three weeks for brakes to be shipped from Japan at an enormous cost - the replacement is covered under the warranty, so the customer is willing to wait.
They said that Isuzu is letting part inventories in the US dry up to eliminate their inventory costs. That means that those little parts will probably not be available separately - most parts will be sold as in groups - and they will be supplied very slowly from far-away places.
We VX owners are holding hot potatoes - rare models made by departed manufacturers. The part-interchangeability with other Isuzu (and GM) models helps, but in the near future there will likely be some VX-specific parts that will be impossible to get ever again.
