[DMCForum] Re: eBay Deloghini

That might be true if we were talking about some obscure, vintage 
cars that had an intended limited production.. However, these are 
DeLoreans. So where do I think that future parts are going to come 
from? DeLorean vendors! Trust me, if you've ever walked through the 
warehouse @ DMCH, you'd know what I mean. "Rare" isn't a word when it 
comes to parts down there. If they don't have it, they simply make 
more of it.

There are no parts that are so rare, and so unobtainable in the 
DeLorean that could ever warrant parting out a sound vehicle. Even 
with severe chassis damage and rust holes, DMCH can even weld them up 
good as new, and powercoat them for another quarter century of 
service. Anyone sniffing around cars like this is either too cheap to 
reinvest in our community of owners, or doesn't have the passion for 
the cars.

With the parts availability not a cause for concern, let's think 
about things this way: If we don't part-out cars, people simply buy 
their parts from the vendors. And by not destroying cars by parting 
them out, we don't decrease the number of available cars. Hence we 
allow that many more people to live the dream, and enjoy a vehicle 
they wouldn't otherwise have had, if it didn't exist.
