Well the list of "new build" DeLorean options was a funny read. My favorite highlights:
- a 6 month / 6,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty
- a "high performance" engine upgrade to 197 hp. for about $5,800 USD
- a 140 MPH speedometer "performance upgrade" for $300 USD
- Xenon headlights for only $250! what a bargain!
I don't think I'd want to add anything to the $57k base price

Is that a joke?  I mean there are really so many BTTF funs that will actually buy it? I personally think its incredibly bad looking but thats only my opinion :bah:

its sure is an 80's icon car, the only thing is if they will be able to sell them for 57.000$... is there really so many fans willing to pay THAT price?

So do the the owners live in CA though? My roommate last year swears the owners are his neighbors. We drove by the house and there were two deloreans sitting in the driveway at least...
If they're upgrading the engine for 5k to 197 hp that's pretty weak imo, hardly up to the times considering my 03 accord has 240...albeit no flux capacitor.

With a proper engine, why not? You're buying in 2007 a car from the 80s that you know it has a relative value on the market... at least on the paper |
People are dumb, so yes, they will pay that much. According to the dude I work with, it was almost $15k to replace the hood and a fender on his after some lady nailed him.

Can you order it with the ultra rare 2 kilos of Cocaine option?
Didn't old John smuggle the drugs in the seats or something? |
He was cleared of all charges and never went to jail. It was all part of a sting operation against him.

He was cleared due to procedural error, not because of innocence.
When did you move to ATL?
