Reproducing plastic parts

I have several collector cars. Every once in a while some small plastic  part 
will break as it gets brittle with age and some of them are not reproduced.  
I am wondering if anyone knows of a cost effective way to reproduce small  
plastic parts?
 
I have looked around on the web and most suppliers want a lot of money to  
create a mold. They can then turn out the individual parts pretty cheaply, but  
you need to make a lot of them to get the unit costs down. I am interested in  
just creating individual parts for myself or maybe producing small runs with  
extras I can sell to other restorers. Any ideas?
