For some sound advice and good counsel, try looking at http://www.rroc.org/ This is the Rolls Royce and Bentley Owners page. Click on the Technical Page link and as you read insert the name DeLorean wherever the name Bentley or Rolls Royce are. Granted some of the DeLorean Automobiles are near the cost of a good used Rolls Royce or Bentley. Remember the Cost of Ownership and Cost of Service are seriously important factors when buying a car. Parts for the Rolls and the DeLorean are nearly the same. There are some owners of both marques, DMC and PMC on this list. In my opinion this list is very important since it too will give you a reality check and help you give counsel. EXAMPLE From the RR & BENTLEY PAGE I know some people that fell into this trap they thought they were getting this great car until it needed to be serviced and the mechanic had a very very very long list of things that need to be repaired on the car due to improper or lack of maintenance. This car that they had loved had instantly turned into a nightmare for their pocket book. Spend the money for a professional or the dealership to go over stem to stern before you buy. A good saying is look before you leap you could be falling down a bottomless pit. Sincerely, Michael
