Notice they are mostly young pip-squeeks like myself (19 yrs)? 
Teenagers are too dumb to stop buying sh*t during a recession. We are 
what is keeping America alive (j/k)!!!
Hell, Abercrombie & Fitch is doing well dispite the last few year's 
economic downturn.

When I joined the list back in 2001 after the purchase of my first D, 
it seemed like I was the only young'un, below 25 years, around. Now 
all these young guys are all about buying a DeLorean. More power to 
them, if they can do it! 
I think some of you DMLers out there under-estimate the ability of 
the younger potential DMC-owners to handle the car's social and 
monetary responsiblity. But by that token, many of us younger DMC 
owners (or soon to be owners) probably under-estimate(d) it. I know I 
did at first!
It is VERY sound advice to BE PATIENT! I never should have bought my 
first D, I could have found a far better one for less money if I'd 
have done my research and looked around a bit more. I was seeing her 
through rose-colored glasses; as I'm sure all of you potential owners 
(young and old) will.
Be careful. Trust the wise men of DeLoreandom (Steger, Wynne, Grady, 
amoung many many others). Vendors are out to make a buck too, but are 
far more "on your side" and far more knowledable than some random DMC 
owner.

Good luck to all you potential owners!
