Lets see people justify the $60K+ price tag of Delorean One. What do you get for $60K? Honestly, I would like to know what their reasoning behind it is. I don't mean to bash or start a flaming on Delorean One (although I'm not opposed to it) but honestly, what is the difference between a DMC Houston reburbished D and a Delorean One refurbished D? I think the common answer is going to be $30K. Do you think if I bought a car from D1 they would let me buy parts from them?
