which cars' aftermarket parts have potenial for good profit

if i was to sell aftermarket parts for cars, what cars do you think would be good to do?

for example, civics has a huge aftermarket, and therefore, it's hard to sell their parts and make good profit. And for 240sx, the parts are rare and it's easier to sell stuff for more and make a better profit.

But what other cars are good to do aftermarket parts for?

Thanks.

The Neon aftermarket is strong but tough to break into. Neon owners are cheap, so if you can't provide a seriously low price you'll get 0wned.

Also, if you'd ever seen the bullsh*t fly in the neons.org Dealers forum, you wouldn't ever want to sell Neon parts

Big market => lower production costs => marginal profit is minimal due to high competition (if you sell for hondas)

Small market => higher production costs & smaller demand=> marginal profit is still minimal cuz you are balancing off high production costs and consumers not wanting to be ripped off.

Take some economics courses. Will teach you alot If you plan selling aftermarket parts you buy from someone else, than buy whatever you can at the lowest price compared to what you can sell it at. And sell for all cars. If you are going to be selling parts you are gonna make yerself, thatd be pretty tough.
