Re: [DML] Re: comparison



Group,

According to a DeLorean expert (certainly not me)...Ed, the owner of DeLorean 
One...he claims that there are maybe 300 (maximum) really good quality, 
original DMC-12's in existence. He says there are alot of poorly repaired, 
poorly maintained, "unmolested" but also unreliable and undesirable cars 
out there. As far as rarity goes, please realize that Ferrari built over 
12,000 308's and 8,200 Testarossa's. So seeing a really nice D is actually 
more difficult than seeing one of the above F's...and their current resale 
prices reflect the large population of the cars out there - 308's can sell 
for low 20's for an average one and early Testarossa's sell for low 50's all 
day long. Engine rebuilds - figure the cost of the car for the 308 and 
35,000 for the Testarossa.

I've driven every modern Ferrari made and have owned most and the 308 was an 
embarrassment to Maranello performance-wise.

Bottom line is all cars have pluses and minuses...and everyone has different 
tastes...luckily there are enough choices to make us all happy.
