Description
The Bus Depot got its roots a decade ago, in my driveway among the farms and winding roads of rural Pennsylvania. It was there that I brought my first VW home - a ‘71 camper, which was a little “rough” to put it kindly. As I fixed it up, I discovered how hard it was to find certain parts locally, especially at prices I could afford. So in no time, two campers were in my driveway - my daily driver, and a “parts” bus salvaged from a local farm.
The two busses in my driveway attracted other local bus owners, who would stop in to chat when I was working on them. It seemed that everyone shared my frustration with many parts being either elusive or expensive. The VW was meant to be affordable - the "people's car." So why were some parts prices so high?
It just didn’t make sense to me. I was a buyer for a retail chain, in a field where the average profit margins are a fraction of what they are on auto parts. Yet they still made money. How? They learned to live lean. They saved every dollar they possibly could and passed it on to the customer, because in their business, they had to. Meanwhile, VW parts suppliers were raking in 50 or 60 percent markups as if they had no choice.
