Buying a Delorean is just like buying any other car or house. There are lots of "Handy man specials", but these are only a good deal for the handyman. If you are truely not mechanically inclined, you should wait, and save money for a $16k + Delorean. If you feel comfortable working on cars at all, then you could probably get a 10k Delorean and be ok. Unless you are an expert certified mechanic, heed this advice, DO NOT BUY A CAR THAT DOES NOT RUN!!! regardless of what the previous owner tells you, a car that does not run at all when you buy it, is 9 times out of 10 more likely to be a massive money pit.
