It looks like a promotional sales flier that you got because you probably registered with them and included your car info.

Nowhere does it say they're going out of business. Saying such things in a public forum can be very dangerous to any business.

Me too!

"Closeout" means they want to move old stock. These are items that are discontinued by the manufacturer.

Sounds reasonable, could be for both reasons.

They better not be going out of business, they keep my LTX running. I ripped the ac out of the TA many years ago and lost most my parts, a great many of those parts have come from rock auto. I need to order an ac compressor next from them.

Wikipedia:

A closeout or clearance is the final sale of an item or items to zero inventory. It may be a given model of item that is not selling well, or in the case of the final closure of a retailer because of a relocation, a fire (fire sale), or especially because of a bankruptcy. In the latter case, it is usually known as a going-out-of-business sale, and is part of a liquidation.

I don't see anything on that site that indicates it is a going out of business sale, much more likely it's to reduce inventory.

I love RockAuto by the way. Their prices and selection are hard to beat.

They are not going out of business. I get those fliers/emails from them about 1-2 times a year as I have my car registered under my username/account. I'm sure you have the same thing and they send you parts tagged for your car/model when they go on sale or clearance.
