The diamond cartel is smart enough to restrict the flow of diamonds to the market 
to maintain value ... Russia (?) has more diamonds than the rest of the world but 
is "smart" enough not to do anything to lower the value. So why aren't DeLorean 
owners as smart ??? I have asked the same question. We control about 6,000 D's 
remaining on the road in the world, that's still a very small number of cars. If 
we were to simply take inflation into considersation the sticker price of the car, 
which was $32,000 ( I still have the window sticker) would be about $41,000, 
assuming 3% per year inflation. Since depreciation should not be a factor, like 
land they are not
making any more, a well kept low mileage D should bring a minmum of about $20-22,000 
('81) The trouble is that the owner has to be able and willing to
hold out for that price ... something that may not always be possible ... hoping 
that a "fire sale" is a rarity it should be a sellers market for our
stainless steel wonders.

>Marv Sterling

I agree Marv. In fact, assuming we both have the same vision of a well kept, low 
mileage '81, aren't they bringing that now? Seriously, the few I
have seen at prices lower than that have not been well kept, though some have had 
low mileage.

Price is only important when you want to sell. Since I have no intention of 
selling, it becomes an academic discussion. I just love to have people think I am 
driving a $50,000+ car.

DICK - JUST HOLD ONTO THAT CAR. IN A FEW YEARS IT VERY WELL MIGHT JUST BE AT
THAT PRICE, NOT BECAUSE OF QUALITY, BUT BY ATTRITION. THERE JUST AINT NO MO
TO BE HAD, AND BY THE WAY I HAVE SEEN MOST OF THE OWNERS KEEPING THEIR CARS -
THOSE THAT TAKE CARE OF WHAT THEY GOT, AND PUT THE PROPER PARTS BACK ON THEIR
CARS WHEN THEY NEED THEM, - WILL GET BIG BUCKS IN THE NOT TO DISTANT FUTURE,
OR IN MY CASE OFFERS CAUSE I DON'T INTEND TO SELL. IF YOU SAW WHAT ONE OWNER 
DID TO HIS CAR WHICH I AM PRESENTLY REBUILDING - YOU COULD CRY. EVERY
TIME I LOOK SOMEWHERE - IT IS SCREWED UP - BASTARD PARTS - MADE UP PARTS - SWITCHED 
PARTS - MISSING PARTS - GLUED PARTS - PARTS HELD TOGETHER WITH DUCT
TAPE , ETC. I SWEAR THIS IS TRUE ! MORE PEOPLE BUTCHER THEIR CARS THEN TAKE
CARE OF THEM FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN. SOME FROM IGNORANCE , SOME JUST LAZY. TAKE 
CARE OF YOUR CAR AND LIKE ANYOTHER GOOD POSESSION, IT SHOULD GAIN IN VALUE, IT 
SURELY WILL NEVER GO DOWN. WATCH DELOREAN WORLD FOR THE STORY OF
MY EXPERIENCE WITH MY NEWLY AQUIRED 2ND D. IT HAS BEEN AN EXPERIENCE AND I'M

Subject: Re: Delorean Value

The prices of these cars have just astonished me, granted I know people would
more for an 83 D more than an 81 because of what has been built up about the
81's. I myself am looking for a DeLorean and the prices in my opinon are way
to low. I know that I'm only 15 years old, and I can only afford 10,000 dollars, 
tops for one. But come on, I've seen excellent conditions ones go for 18,600. I 
had a double take on the price that it was so low. I suggest that all the DeLorean 
owners, selling there car boost the rice up at least 75% or more. Last year I came 
accross an 83 DeLorean in North Carolina in good, running order, everything 
original, 98,000 miles selling for 3,300 dollars. Yes that's right 3,300. II 
called up this guy, unfourtnately the car
was sold and asked him why so cheap. The response he gave me was " A DeLorean
is a piece of cr**, nobody will pay any more than this" This says it all, if
you are not knowledged based in the familiarity with these cars, don't bother
buying them at all.

Subject: viewing a DeLorean

I've been a member of the list now for several months, reading to gain as much 
knowledge as I can about DeLoreans. I've also read a couple books cover
to cover, and am starting a third (Stainless Steel.., Hard Driving, & DeLorean's 
autobiography).

I've been a DeLorean fan for years, however I've only recently had the time
to study the subject. Unfortunately, I haven't actually seen a DMC for years--only 
in pictures.

My point of writing is to ask if anyone out there would be willing to show me
their car. I'm going to be doing some extensive travelling in the coming weeks, 
and thought someone along my travel path may have a DMC with the patience to show 
a novice, such as myself, their car. In the coming weeks, I'll be in Chicago, 
Louisville KY, Lexington KY, Knoxville TN, Mobile AL, Pennsacola FL, Iowa City, 
plus I live in Milwaukee and frequently to go the
NW Iowa area.

I do plan to own a DeLorean, probably within a 3 year timeframe (which corresponds 
nicely to my wife finishing her medical residency). 

Thanks in advance.

I filled out the survey that Mike Substelny mentioned a few weeks ago and also 
found that not enough of us have done it yet to get any summarized results on 
the DeLorean and it's typical owners. Get on to the net at:
http://cartalk.com/Info/newsurvey.html
and give it a try. It does take about 20 or so minutes but it's easy and the 
results should be enlightening.

Subject: Re: Delorean Value

QUIT YELLING!

That aside, I agree the prices are to low but I hope they stay at their present 
levels 'till I can find another. 

One of the reasons I have my present car is partly due to the original owners 
frustration with service. There used to be a garage in his area that "specialized" 
in DeLoreans. I have corrected most of their repairs and can certainly understand 
his feelings. People come in all different configurations, some are mechanical and 
some aren't. If you aren't, and depend on someone who says he is for service and 
repairs you are at his mercy. Bad service and repairs equals unreliability and 
leads to that car getting a bad reputation. He tells his friends and the lie 
multiplies. 

This train of thought leads me to an article in the current Delorean World 
entitled "Be Prepared for that Breakdown". If you own a well maintained Ford or 
Chevy, or more to the point Volvo, are you going to carry all these parts around 
expecting failure? Stupid article, also lending support to the myth of 
unreliability. Good information generally but the title sucks.

It's too bad that Phoenix is not along your travel path! Not only would I be 
willing to "show and tell", but the weather is probably much warmer here than 
anywhere you mentioned, with the possible exceptions of P-cola and Mobile.

In any case, if ANYONE is ever in the Phoenix area, let me know and we'll get 
together. I spent the 24-29 of December in Las Vegas, Reno and Lake Tahoe and 
was able to meet up with a DeLorean owner and list member in Tahoe. Ray Petragallo 
owns an '83 DeLorean that had an unfortunate engine fire last summer. He's about 
half through the repair process. Ray and I spent a couple hours one night just 
swapping stories and drinking beer - not a bad way to spend an evening in my 
book! Incidentally, Ray also owns a beautiful black Ferrari Testarossa that I 
fell in love with - until we talked about maintenance and insurance differences 
between the two. 

Ray's Testarossa is due for a 30,000 mile service and he tells me that it'll 
cost about three to five thousand dollars to have it done properly. A similar 
service on a DeLorean, done by one of the better known service facilities would 
probably cost considerably less than a thousand, including parts and labor.

I could probably afford the "price of admission" for a pre-owned Ferrari, like 
a 308 or 348, but the service and insurance would eat me up. Which is another 
reason to like the DeLorean, Ray summed it up when he said that the DeLorean is 
easily the most "bang for the buck". A stylish, attractive, easily maintained 
and reliable car that is realtively inexpensive to obtain AND maintain. Not 
particularly practical (what sports car is?), nor is it a speed demon (in 
normally aspirated form), but still an attention getting head turner like no 
other car in it's price range.

There's a DeLorean owner who lives about 10 minutes away from my house in Tampa; 
his street is one I use twice or three times a week. I hope that seeing his car 
sitting in the carport every week will keep me from "freaking out" when I sit in 
the first DeLorean I consider buying. I don't want to be so impressed with the 
appearance of the car that I overlook all the important details (unfortunately 
I've done that with other items I've bought used).

Happy New Year to everybody!

" . . . good soundproofing and a virtual lack of wind noise thanks to the

>Does anyone know where I can get a good poster of a DeLorean? (other than the

I have never seen a better poster depicting the DeLorean sports car than the one 
offered on the DML. However, last year Kapac had a nifty poster available that was 
displayed at DMC dealer showrooms. I don't know if Kapac still has these or not, 
but they were designed to make the car seem exciting, not to give you a good look 
at it like the DML poster does. The Kapac poster looked like a collage of newspaper 
headlines about John DeLorean and DMC with the front end of the car smashing 
through in the middle. It was a *very* large poster.

HEADLINER
>I have removed the panels and old liners and would like to see the posting(s) 
again about the material used and glue . . .

This should be in the back issues, as it has come up repeatedly in the past. I 
believe the glue is contact cement, and the material of choice is a cloth with 
foam already attached. You can get exact match material from the same sources as 
other DeLorean parts. Any automotive upholstery shop will have a close approximation 
but *not* an exact match.

John Z. DeLorean turns 72 today 1/6/97. Just thought someone might find the 
tidbit interesting.

Excluding the ground effects, I've seen 81's with half the miles for half the price. 
Am I missing something here?
