That's one of the most absurd things I've ever read. Just because the DeLorean is a rare car doesn't mean that the vendors are obligated to treat their customers like crap. In fact, letting the vendors stick it to the consumers is the surest way to kill the car. In a free market economy, and yes the DeLorean is part of a free market economy, it is competition that drives such things as advances in technology that will make the DeLorean more reliable, refinements in engineering that make parts less costly, and other such things that can only lengthen the longevity of the car. Consumers shopping for the best price is an integral part of that system, as is comparing notes on the vendors, and so forth. Dealing with that is part of the vendors' job.

You may very well contribute to another vendor choosing to only serve regular full-time customers and not want to deal with "looky-loo's" who want to feel better about themselves for getting a bargain at the expense of all of us. Our community is too small to overburden our vendors with this kind of crap. If you want to pull this kind of thing sell your car and buy a major-brand vehicle with lots of dealerships and aftermarket vendors for you to call up and brow-beat. That's my opinion and I'm stickin to it! Tom #05732 Loyal customer of all our vendors to help keep them all in business!!!
