"ductile iron" [in its multitude of grades and qualities] is a cheap commodity produced in the millions of tons each year. spending up to 30% of a component's value in shipping makes no sense whatsoever. almost certainly this is not a "ductile iron" component, but that doesn't detract from you bullshitting about it. -- nomina rutrum rutrum

By buying back their trucks with rusted frames for 150% of Kelley Blue Book value, which is geared for DEALER PROFIT? I'd like that kind of a screwing!!! That would mean I would get $2,000 more for the Scion than I PAID for it 4 years ago!!!!

From: Mike Hunter on 16 Feb 2010 10:05 Why, is your Scion rusting already as well? You will notice Toyota is using Kelly rather than NADA? Kelly values are set by the average trading prices within the wholesale USED car industry, not the average trading / selling prices when used at NEW CAR dealerships, as in NADA. In any event they book value they are referencing is WHOLESALE, not retail "Hachiroku ????" <Trueno(a)e86.GTS> wrote in message news:hlcqig$f07$10(a)news.eternal-september.org... > On Mon, 15 Feb 2010 08:51:01 -0500, C.
