Re: [DML] DAILY DRIVER DMC



I recommend getting a DeLorean IF you can keep it safe from vandalism, keep
it from being baked every day in the sun, and keep it running. Depending on
your situation, these may be big 'if's.

When trying to get insurance, an agent described the car as among the most
attention-getting cars of any on the road. From experience I have learned
that this is very true; however, it is not a bad thing. I get a lot of
people asking questions, and I always find the time to answer them. It is
quite a mood-booster. Most people are very polite to me in traffic. Get
this: they actually WANT me to pull out in front of them so that they can
get a better look at the car.

If you need to live conservatively then buy a basic transportation car, save
as much money as you can and then get a better car when you can better
afford it. I think that a DeLorean would be a poor choice if you are moving
out of state to a college that is full of testosterone-laden fraternity
pranks. You may not have the time, space, tools, money and security to
maintain it. But if your living expenses are already covered (maybe you are
living with your parents still) then you may be in a better position to
significantly increase your coolness factor by several levels. (A DeLorean
will certainly do this.)

Keep in mind that the newer a car is, the faster it will loose value.
DeLoreans, on the other hand, have already hit the bottom of the
depreciation curve and are now probably increasing in value. Barring
accidents and vandalism, the price of consumable parts on a DeLorean are on
par with most other cars. The cost of major repairs is padded by the
assurance that the car should at least maintain its value and always be
collectible.

Buy the DeLorean. I insist.
