Re: [DML] Factory cost

["Dick Ryan" <deloreanbiker@xxxxxxxxx>]

In SoCal, the first DeLoreans were sold "at Premium".  Often the
"premium" was 5-6K over list which was $26,500.  I bought a new Aug 81
build in Sept 82 from a dealer and paid $19,995 (if memory serves me -
Dave Delman has my original window sticker - along with the car).  Two
months later, after the drug scene, new D's were being listed for
under $15,000 at selected dealers.  

I have the original window sticker from my 83 and it shows $34,000!!!!
 That was just Consolidated's way of making their WSJ ads showing 83's
for sale at $21,000 looking like a $13,000 discount.
