Believe me Parts and Up grades for the DeLorean are cheap in comparison. To be honest, I am surprised at the low prices for nice D's I have seen. My Amphicar transmission costs $2700 to $3800, if you can get one!! This Forum is also incredible... I do not know this guy DMC Joe, but he is an invaluable asset obviously dedicated to the DeLorean, as are many others. You Folks have a Good thing going here.....keep it up!

Swilley" Date: Thu, 19 Aug 1999 19:53:09 PDT Mime-Version: 1.0 Subject: [DML] Re: DMC ABUSE Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit My two cents worth (for which you have to pay even less): A well maintained vehicle with any amount of miles can be a great "runner". In my case, I drove mine for thirteen years as a daily driver, averaging probably over 12K per year. Since early 93, while I was working overseas, it was only driven once or twice a year for, maybe, 2-3000 miles a year. Now that I am back, I am taking it out a couple of times a week, looking for those back country roads where one can really enjoy the handling of the machine. Since my return to the states in May, I can honestly say that the car is running better and better every time I take it out. With 150,000+ miles on it, it is still the best driving D I have ever been in, with the possible exception of #502, the twin-turbo prototype. Admitedly, the engine is not quite stock, having been massaged gently by Stephen Wynn: ported and polished heads, "hot rod" valve job, and a slightly higher lift cam, producing an estimated 185 HP. Although still normally aspirated, I'm told it is faster than most turbos on the road and remains a very pleasant driver in stop and go traffic. We are fortunate to own an "exotic" that really doesn't cost an arm and a leg to maintain and repair (as long as you don't bend the left front fender). So, drive the things and enjoy them. There are much better "investments" out there, in spite of the recent performance of the stock markets. Paying a high premium for a "low milage" car is false ecomomics, and personally, as much as I appreciate the lasting beauty of the design, I get tired of just looking at them. I've got to get in it and drive it and drive it hard. That's what it's made for. If something breaks, I know that I can fix it without breaking the bank.

Mileage is a fine way to evaluate a '96 Volvo, but condition, aesthetic AND mechanical is what determines how good a collector vehicle really is. If I'm looking for asomething I plan to actually drive, then I want one that has been "broken-in", driven, AND maintained. It's proven itself. (I'll relate a story from a Viet Nam veteran: Periodically, the army would issue/offer new m-16 rifles to the soldiers. Some would trade in their old ones for new ones, but the soldiers who knew their rifles and maintained them well, would always keep their old ones. The reason? The new rifles were prone to jamb at the worst moments. The older, broken-in and maintained ones, operated reliably.) A higher price doesn't really mean that something is better or that you're getting more, but unfortunately many people have this perception. Finally, have you ever wondered why shops that do brake jobs typically charge more for disc brakes than drum? If you've done brakes yourself, you know what I'm talking about. I dare you to find any mechanic that would rather do drum brakes than disc! my $0.02 Steve ------------------------------ message 2321 ------------------------------ http://www.eGroups.com/list/dmcnews/?start=2321 X-Mailing-List: dmcnews@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/dmcnews/ From: "Grimsrud, Knut S" Date: Fri, 20 Aug 1999 08:31:19 -0700 MIME-Version: 1.0 Subject: [DML] Moderator's note: The DMC ABUSE thread is dead Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit It appears that most points of view have been shared on the DMC ABUSE thread, so I'm now killing it.
