What do you need to know, look for and ask when looking at a 10,000 dollar delorean to make sure it will be mechanically sound? Originally that was my plan, to get a mechanically sound delorean with some dents, door etc. problems, and a fairly bad looking interior, yet I really have no car mechanical knowledge so would need help examining a D. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joe Palatinus" <jpalatinus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, August 22, 2000 6:08 PM Subject: [DML] Re: delorean pricing, first time driver > I feel that I am qualified to talk about $10,000 daily driving deloreans. > Moderator's note - removed large copy... ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 2 Date: Tue, 22 Aug 2000 19:20:32 -0700 From: "Gabe W." <thecreech@xxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: Bricklin I've been looking at the bricklin market and have found ones advertised as perfect mechanically for around 10,000(1975). What makes the delorean much more expenisve? The bricklin performs better and much less of them were produced. Was it back to the future? Please help with some explanation. Also are they any Bricklin/Delorean owners on this list? ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 3 Date: Tue, 22 Aug 2000 22:47:13 EDT From: dherv10@xxxxxxx Subject: Re: Delorean Overheating (almost) Cburke, De Loreans have a small habit of over heating if several things haven't been done to up date the cars cooling system. #1. Has the fan fail relay been replaced with a jumper. #2. Has all the air been bled out of the water system. #3. Has the temperture switch ever been replaced. #4. Has any electrical device been added to make the fans come on and work more efficiently. #5. What about the radiator, has it been checked lately. The short list goes on for some of the modifications that need to be made if you have a virgin car. The Fan Fix, New relay's, New circut breakers Alternator.

Obviously this hasn't happened. Has the car been going up in value or down in value since then and today. In the article it said they were going for about 25,000. ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________
