Re: DeLorean Financing

Try going to a Credit Union Instead of a bank Many financial 
institutions consult the National Automobile 
Dealers Association to determine the amount they are willing to lend 
for a vehicle. Going by the "average low" According to the N.A.D.A. 
Appraisal Guides (www.nadaguides.com) my credit union is willing to 
lend as much as $9,050 toward the purchase of a DeLorean.
1981-83 DeLorean DMC-12 GULLWING 2 Door Sports Coupe
MODELS PROFESSIONALLY RESTORED OR REFURBISHED BY DELOREAN MOTOR 
COMPANY MAY BRING A CONSIDERABLE PREMIUM (UP TO 30%) OVER VALUES 
LISTED.
MSRP Original Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price when new:
MY1981-$27,500 - MY1982-$29,825 - MY1983-$34,000
81-83 Low Retail $9,050 - Average Retail $16,600 - High Retail $26,700

Low Retail Value - This vehicle would be in mechanically functional 
condition, needing only minor reconditioning. The exterior paint, 
trim, and interior would show normal wear, needing only minor 
reconditioning. May also be a deteriorated restoration or a very poor 
amateur restoration. Mostly usable "as-is". Note: This value does 
not represent a "parts car".

Average Retail Value - This vehicle would be in good condition 
overall. It could be an older restoration or a well-maintained 
original vehicle. Completely operable. The exterior paint, trim, and 
mechanics are presentable and serviceable inside and out. A "20-
footer".

High Retail Value - This vehicle would be in excellent condition 
overall. It could be a completely restored or an extremely well 
maintained original vehicle showing very minimal wear. The exterior 
paint, trim, and mechanics are not in need of reconditioning. The 
interior would be in excellent condition. Note: This value does not 
represent a "100 Point" or "# 1" vehicle *.

* "100 Point" or "# 1" vehicle is not driven. It would generally be 
in a museum or transported in an enclosed trailer to concourse 
judging and car shows. This type of car would be stored in a climate-
regulated facility.
