Somehow -- and no, I don't know how, either... -- he keeps coming back, just when you think he's gone for good: so someone, as you say, is buying his stuff (which I did once, before learning of his infamy...) -- and he therefore makes more money from parts, than he would do from the whole car.
I don't think it's a sales model with much mileage left in it, though (if you'll excuse the corny metaphor...): because Pandas are going to reach that level (hopefully in the near future) where they really
are worth more than the sum of their parts.... :chin:
And, he has, occasionally, put the whole car up for sale -- but usually on a very short auction; not for a very attractive price; and with a snide dig at the Forum.... He certainly knows how to win friends and influence people. :nutter:
It would be nice to cut him off at the source (no corporal harm implied...), and get to the cars before he does -- but there are only so many Pandas we can fit on our drives, and in our garages, unless we buy an old aircraft hangar somewhere....
