The D gets cheaper every day.



If the above statment is true, I'll get my Delorean in no time.

Ok, here is the reasoning. Say it was the year 1982, and you had 
pretty much unlimited resources to buy a car. The first on you look 
at is a DeLorean. The standard price is a hefty 25 k. Then for some 
reason, you decided to buy a Honda, for only, oh, $3900.

You get in your Honda, turn on the flux capacitor and jolt yourself 
to modern times, say 2003. You still have your unlimited resources 
because that Honda you bought 21 years ago, oops sorry, 5 minutes ago 
didnt drain your wallet. Now you pull up to a Honda dealer and a low 
end model goes for $15,000. Then you drive all the way from Northern 
Maine to Huston, TX to price a refurbished DeLorean. (Granted, you 
didn't know Al Gore invented the internet, which could have saved you 
some time!) 

Anyway, once you arive you discover that a "NEW" Delorean costs 32K. 
Then you pull out your trusty Accounting book size calculator and do 
a little math.

The Honda in 1982 costs 3900 verus a 2003 model Honda for 15,000. 
Thats an increase of 384%.

The DeLorean in 1982 was roughly $25,000, and a refurb one today 
costs 33,000. Thats 132% increase.

You quickly come to a conclusion, inflation is horrible, and a hover 
conversion on your 1982 Honda will cost around 40 grand in 2015. No, 
thats not it. The DeLorean however is adverting Inflaton rather 
well despite the inferior counterparts of todays automobiles which 
cost over 300% more. My advice, the cost of our cars wont increase 
in large intervals for another 10-20 years, when the DeLorean actualy 
does become rather scarce as more people paint them, or reck them.

On a final note, I hate to say this, the somewhat outragious price 
that D One has on its cars should be correct for today. After all, 
what are people's estimates on what they think your car is worth? 
Darn, I guess they are right after all. (Just dont increase the 
price yet till I get my own car, thanks a lot!)
