Re: We the DML...Cool Idea for the Hurt D(Please Read)

Maybe some people on the list don't realize it or not but every time 
another "D" is totaled 2 things happen. The first is that some 
irreplaceble parts become available. The second thing is that every 
surviving "D" goes up in value because there are fewer survivors. On 
the other hand if someone is serious enough to buy and restore the "D" 
some other things happen. The supply of limited parts is further 
depleted but more important the value of all "D"'s STILL goes up 
because the owner will have spent more than he could have bought one 
for in similar condition so he will think he has more value and will 
want to try to recoup. Along the way parts prices will have gone up so 
future restorations will be more expensive. As parts prices go up it 
will cause the car values (good condition cars) to be worth more 
because it is more expensive to return cars to good condition. All in 
all not too bad but the best is probably to part out the car mainly 
because of the limited parts supply issue. Unfortunatly this car in 
particular sounds over-priced, I have seen cars in better condition 
for less money. The big winners will be the service center that gets 
the work and the Venders that supply the parts. The biggest loser will 
be the unfortunate owner who will spend too much for his dream.
