I just bought my DMC two weeks ago and quite enjoy it, as a matter of fact I have driven it every day! It is an 1983 VIN 16367, with only 35,000 on it, plus a copy of Stainless Steel Illusion in the trunk! (which i just found out yesterday is a rare book) I see most of the post are from people who have very low VIN numbers. Is that more desireable? When I was looking for one to purchase I was looking for a higher VIN because of the old saying "first -worst, last best". When I was searching for a DMC to buy I only found a few of the higher vin numbers out there? Dont worry, it wont brake my heart to find out that the last ones made are not coveted like the earlier models! ;-) I love mine... C
