Hello to everyone out there in "D" land. This following opinion of mine is 
sure to ruffle a few feathers, but more importantly, if I'm any judge of 
human nature, it should win me many, many, agreeable fans who think 
similarly. I have been a club member for about a year now and a DeLorean 
lover since day one. Though I have yet to own one, I am seriously trying to 
remedy this. My problem is that all the cars I have inquired about so far 
have been grossly exaggerated as far as condition, yet carry showroom price 
tags. I am not arguing that the DeLorean can't be made into a great and 
reliable car, but that takes lots of time and MONEY. These people who brag 
that their cars have few miles and have been stored for long periods of time 
should be shot. Show me a car that has been driven and cared for by someone 
who stays on top of it's needs, and I'll put my money on it. These so-called 
low mileage cars tend to need more attention than their selling price will 
allow. Those articles that we all enjoy reading in the magazine and on the 
web site, tell of the pitfalls of these cars that have sat for years. You 
must remember that since the car appeals to such a small market segment, this 
greatly reduces it's potential value. The selling price, combined with the 
fix up costs, should not exceed the market value. The seller is turning over 
a great piece of machinery to a new and avid owner who is eager to enjoy what 
you have tired of. Remember it's only my opinion. Thanks for listening.
