Re: [DML] Re: DeLorean pricing

["William Bowie" <wbowie@xxxx>]

I'd buy one if they(D 1) had a finance department and didn't require half
down and half on delivery.
And as far as driving up the value, that only makes it harder for others
trying to live the dream. And according to what I've read so far, JZD was
trying to make an affordable sports car. Besides wouldn't the production of
"new" Ds be bad for those hoping to have a valuable car? I think the only
time the value will go up will be when ALL the parts at DMC, D-1, and others
are gone.

Just my .02
