DeLorean pricing

["Scott Gardner" <gardners14@xxxx>]

I talked to the staff at DMC in Houston about a year ago, regarding
their $32,500 "turn-key" cars, and the gentleman basically said "We've
been doing this for a long time, and $30k is what it costs to get a good
DeLorean. You'll either spend it up front or in repairs." I don't have
as much experience with the cars as they do, but if you go the other
route and buy a typical $12-15k car, does it *really* take $18-20
thousand of additional funds to get the car up to the quality of one of
their "turn-key" models? I know that they do the factory-recommended
updates, and replace stuff like relays and door struts, and re-dye the
entire interior, but it's not like they re-build the engine as a matter
of course or anything like that. The $32,500 price is without any
performance upgrades, or things like lowered suspension, Xenon lights,
or an upgraded sound system, so I'm still at a loss as to what they do
for the extra money. The warranty is nice, obviously, but I'm curious
if it's true that one way or the other, you have to spend $30k to end up
with a good 'D'.
