If you truly do want the car, then nothing anyone says could stop you, but that isn't always a bad thing. I spoke with the owner the first time the car was placed on eBay, and it does sound like the car just needs a strong amount of TLC. As always it's a good idea to atleast see the car in person to inspect it before you decide about purchasing it. But if your gut feeling (not the excitement of owning a DeLorean) tells you that this is the car, then you need to go for it! Just remember, the car will need steady attention, and lots of pantience. And who knows, maybe DMC Houston can repair the door & fender, you may not have to buy new ones. On a side note, if I didn't have my current D, I would buy the car. Chances are you may have stumbled onto a car w/a fearful owner. He may not know enough about the car, parts availability, or he may not have the $ to repair it. Now I don't want to sound like a vulture, but opprotunities such as this can arise for you to take advantage of. Whatever your decision is, it will be the right one. Good Luck! -Robert vin 6585 --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxx, "Louie Golden" <louiegolden@xxxx> wrote: > I would like to thank everyone who responded to my inquiry about the wrecked DeLorean on e-bay.
