    Ok, so what are you selling?

    Only one of your catalogs is 1984. The rest are '97 - '99.

    So again tell me how any parts vendor wouldn't have that same
    information.

    There is no need for a home mechanic to have your parts catalogs.
    News flash: We're in the middle of a recession. Lots of people out of
    work.

    If there's a free (as in no-cost) alternative to something, then people
    will obtain it if they need or want it.

    And so far, you haven't made a coherent case as to why I would need a
    parts catalog for cars that are only 10 to 13 years old, because all
    dealers and parts vendors will have that information readily available.

    ----OEM parts catalogs. Obviously, reading comprehension isn't one of
    your strong points.
    ----See below.
    ----Let's see. I can think of a few reasons off the top of my head:

    1) The parts catalog shows hardware dimensions and type. So, if you're
    trying to obtain the proper bolt, nut, clip or what not for your car,
    the parts book has it.

    2) You can easily see from the parts book what other years and models
    use that same part. So, if you wanted to shop on let's say Ebay, you'd
    know what parts out there fit your car. Not what Billy Bob at the
    junkyard says will fit, what Chrysler says will fit and was designed
    to fit with the vehicle.

    3) For junkyard runs. You'll know what cars to look for that have the
    same parts.

    4) You can see which parts are "NS" status from Chrysler. You do know
    what that means without having to google it, right? (Sure you do :) ).

    5) Your theory does a lot of good when the dealer's closed and having
    the information at hand makes all the difference in the world.

    6) The parts books give exploded views which are a great quick
    reference for seeing how the parts on a particular area of the car are
    put together and how many of that part are required.

    7) The trim codes, sales codes, model codes, and VIN information is
    all provided in the parts manual. You won't find trim code information
    in the shop manual---it will refer you to the parts catalog for that.
    ----So the guy that robs the bank because he needs the money due to a
    recession did the right thing? No, he's a thief. So would you for
    downloading copyrighted material that you don't have the legal right
    to do.
    ---Although, I don't have to, but I just gave you seven reasons above
    as to why. I recently sold a parts catalog for an LH body to a guy
    named Ed on this forum. Ed told me the reason for buying the parts
    catalog was that he wanted to have the information readily at hand,
    because his local dealer wasn't cooperative on the "old stuff". He got
    the parts book and loved the exploded views and the detailed
    information. He had a 1999 LH body car.

    I've seen a lot of parts vendors and dealers that don't want to bother
    with the old stuff or just plain don't know their job. Plus, do you
    really trust the guy behind the counter who tells you, "ah that's ten
    years old, it's discontinued" when you know all too well that the part
    is readily available.

    Great! Let's all clutter up this newsgroup and violate its charter and
    sell our "Chrysler related" wares! Oh wait, maybe you are "special" and
    are above the rules.

    It beats the porn and OT posting stuff that has nothing to do with
    Chrysler. Are you going after that?

    They're not dumb enough to respond and try to justify themselves...

    That speaks volumes for the members of this newsgroup. I'm sure
    they'll appreciate that.

    Like the Mopar Man who believes that's above copyright law and can
    download parts catalogs without a license?

    Great point. So why post to a newsgroup with such members? Surely you
    can find better places to sell your very important wares.

    Non sequitur fallacy.
