[DML] Over-valuing our D's/repair costs

["Sean Spurlock" <sean_dmc1@xxxx>]

Group,
I agree with sweaty eddy! As a general rule, people are asking TOO 
much for their cars, and perhaps forgetting what the market is saying they 
are worth. I have seen post after post about buying a D for $20,000 is the 
only way to avoid problems. A friend of mine bought a D for $17,000 and 
worked for ever to keep that car running. Another bought a D for $10,000, 
and has only put about $1,000 back into it. Perhaps these are extreme cases, 
but they are true. Our cars are ONLY worth what certain individuals are 
willing to pay. Be it $2,000 or $75,000. We own specialty cars. In my 
experience with DeLoreans, you can easily get a nice DeLorean with little 
trouble for $14,000. If not...YOU ARE PAYING TOO MUCH!!! Any one who would 
pay $14,000 for a DeLorean (or any car for that matter) that needs lots of 
work is throwing their money out the window, and succumbing to the whims of 
the seller. Also, where are these astronomical repair costs coming from. Do 
any of you work on your D's yourself. Do you all just settle for the highly 
exorbitant prices of some parts and repair shops? I would be very interested 
in knowing. I am not criticizing any of you, just generally curious what the 
hype and "big deal" is!

Regards,
Sean
