i am sure they do that all the time. But i am genetically calibrated against doing that.

In theory a complete car should be worth more than the sum of its parts but the buyers in the model market are cheapskates (it's true!) that they only want to pay, like, 40% of what it would cost to duplicate. Hence why i call my car a money pit.
