DELOREAN PARTS PRICES

[XSongwrtr@xxxx]

Lately, I've caught myself complaining about the high price of 
Delorean parts. True, they are expensive, but in most cases are still 
available, which is a miracle in itself. The Delorean dealers have 
had to invest large amounts of money and time to find and warehouse 
the parts; and have gambled that owners like you and I will buy the 
parts to maintain our cars. As an owner, I want to keep my car in as 
good a shape as I can afford, which means that I have to wait until I 
have the extra money to replace non-safety items. I'd like to see a 
discount club started from the suppliers for Delorean owners - 
monthly 10% off deals, or something like that to show that they truly 
appreciate our business. (which I know they do).
I am not in the Delorean Parts business, but do have another 
collector car- a '57 Thunderbird that has fairly expensive parts, too.
The T-Bird suppliers do a different discount program monthly to 
motivate us to spend more, and it works! I'm slowly doing a frame-off 
on this car, and spend as I can on it as well. Having 2 "babies" 
means I have to watch my restoration and maintenance dollars closely.

This is only my opinion, and is thrown out for whatever it's worth.
