Out of curiosity, I downloaded DMCH's new price list
from their web site and compared it to an old Kapac
price list dated May 1, 1993 that was in some papers
that came when I bought my car. At first I thought,
"how can anyone expect someone to lower prices for
anything, much less to what they were 6-10 years ago?"
Christ, I'm in business for myself and NONE of my
suppliers ever lower their prices - and I don't have
the size of operation that DMCH does. Health
insurance, property insurance, property taxes, gas and
electricity, toll-free numbers, salaries, benefits and
that's just a few of the things that I can think of
that cost more now than they did before.

Here's what I found from the list that Mike posted
earlier today:

Items marked NA were not listed in the 17 page list
that I have, stuff like fuel senders and defrost
switches were not available from Kapac back then, and
only available now at these prices because DMCH remade
them. If anyone would like a copy of this list, let me
know via private email and I will try to get one to
you. If nothing else, it's interesting reading.

Anyway, it appears that DMCH ** did ** lower prices to
Kapac levels (or even lower) on these items. I didn't
compare each and every item on both lists (I'll save
that for task for later).

I'm surprised, from what Marc wrote, I expected stuff
to be higher, not the same or lower as they were 10
years ago.
