Greddy goes Bankrupt

http://www.autoblog.com/2008/09/10/j...es-bankruptcy/

sad =(

Today, one of the world's largest performance parts companies, known as Trust in Japan and Greddy here in the States, declared bankruptcy. According to various reports, Trust is approximately $60 million in debt and, after reporting a serious decline in sales since February 2008 and amassing $43 million in loan payments, filed for bankruptcy in Tokyo District Court.

^He is correct. Demand will spike for what is left thus increasing the pricing accordingly.

The way the automotive industry has been going, this is of no surprise as the market is ever shifting and companies as large as greddy will have huge problems with restructuring in an attempt to accomodate. Expect many more companies to start dropping..
