This DeLorean: Is this deal worth it?
 

Hello, perhaps some of you may offer an opinion on this deal 81 model
with questionable engine for $7000+/12K miles.

Second, what else should I ask about / be concerned about on this
vehicle? Here are the vehicle pictures and information:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=2243076521

Would I be OK if I bid under $10,000 for this car and fix it. The car
only has 12K miles. Thanks.

What should I ask about on this vehicle based on what is already
given? Thanks.

SPAM !!!

Why is this Guy asking questions about his own car?

If you read the ad, you can call a Guy called Warren , & the poster is also
called Warren!!

BTW Warren, you don`t need a professional to `undust`? the car.....just a
hosepipe !!! Oh, & a tap with water .

I think it is quite expensive. I have one in perfect condition that
I'm looking for $20K.

I would give the car a very, very carefull inspection before considering
a bid on it. The person posting the acution obviously knows little about
the car.

The seller could have at least taken it outdoors and hosed it down.

Use a good escrow service too.

Friend of mine bought an '85 Jaguar on Ebay. The care was in PA, he's in
RI. The guy drove the car up.

Outside it looked beautiful but the guy was at least honest, the exhaust
system fell off on the way up. And on opening the hood we could tell the
car had been fairly well used and wasn't quite what the seller had
advertised.

No problem - he comes up here quite often anyhow. So my friend gave the
car back, rescinded the escrow and everyone was happy. Well, maybe not
the seller.

I dunno - some of us make the Back to the Future link, some of us don't.
However, the care does have collectible value based on a few facts.

The first is that DeLorean bucked Detroit and built his car, his way.
Second is the all stainless steel body. Manufacturers could do this to
cars but the problem is getting paint to adhere. Someone figured out how
to do this with a type of clear coat that tinted the bright silver to
the desired color. It looked very cool at the time.

And gull wing door - don't see much of those anymore.

Granted, the cars are only at their 23rd year, but in about 10-15 years
it'll be a bona fide collectible. I just can't see paying $10K for it.

According to him, you need a professional to do that otherwise you
risk damaging the stainless steel. Completely clueless seller. I
would stay away for that reason alone.

Strange, quick exposure to water damages stainless steel?
