The release of the Hollywood film “Fast and Furious 6” expands the franchise into six blockbuster hits. And despite the fact that actors Vin Diesel and Paul Walker receive top billing, it is definitely the cars that viewers eagerly anticipate.
With more movies down the pipeline, the popularity of the franchise is a testament to the strength of the car culture which has a global reach, from developing countries to various urban centres. This has resulted in opportunities in the sale of cars and spare parts — even those coming from the domestic market.
While there is in indeed a large demand for imports like the perennial favourites Toyota Supra GT-300, Acura Integra RS, Honda Del Sol, and even Isuzu Elf motorhomes, it can be difficult to source these and other vehicles along with their spare parts because a great majority of these are restricted only for domestic market. The demand and supply are there. But how can you get your hands on the supply and profit well?
Many would think that establishing a business presence within the competitive automotive industry would be the best option to get hold of these coveted goods. However, this may not be the most practical and economical solution considering the high overhead costs, including contracting staff and procuring the necessary permits and documents. In addition to these, you even have to factor in the language barrier as well as cultural differences.
The answer would be getting a partner company which allows you to get cars and parts from known countries, even those which are not accessible to foreign buyers. Getting a partner based in such countries is the most logical and economical solution to the problem of sourcing vehicles and parts to sell. It eliminates the need and associated costs for making long distance calls talking to foreign contacts and travelling around the world just scrounging for cars and parts which may or may not be available.
A reliable partner company allows you to have a continuous supply of import parts, particularly those which are rare and hard to find. This partner even allows you to get a hold of multiple sources while providing you with the most economical way of shipping your imports. This may include shipping cars as a whole, in parts or a combination of both.
By finding a reliable partner company based in developing countries, you get the chance to play with the big boys who get first dibs on sought-after cars at the same low cost. In turn, this allows you to have a significant market share while reducing costs and other hassles.
