[DML] Re: Over-valuing our D's/repair costs

["Daniel-Christopher McBirney" <rammzmusik@xxxx>]

My experience with the DeLorean is for the most part they are over priced. I 
have looked at many DeLoreans and have seen prices upwards of 28K for cars 
that should be selling for around 15K. The fact is these cars are 20 yrs old 
and the parts reservoir is, lets face it slowly depleting.
With owners getting the price that they ask for? Some so but most dont. 
In my town there was a DeLorean for sale at 17.5K at had 45,000mi and the 
dash/interior was in ok shape. The were some other little things that would 
add up to a 5K repair bill. The car had a for sale sign on it for about 2 
1/2 yrs. I dont think it was ever sold. There also was a DeLorean for sale 
on LI NY with 741mi. It was practically new. Apparently a man bought it and 
shortly passed away his wife kept it in the garage for years after. Which 
also meant the fuel system was probably contaminated and it needed all the 
upgrades. I dont think that warrants a 27K price tag.
I know that DeLorean 1 sells reconditioned D's for 50K. Wow, thats 
steep. Does anyone know what they do to these cars? Do they build them from 
brand new parts from the frame up?
