Be sure you have enough money to spend to keep it on the road, though (I suggest at least $1,600/year). You should expect any 20 year old car to be in the shop about once a year for minor problems. > is there anything fatal i should be looking for when > looking at a delorean for sale? Check out the various buyer's guides on the Internet. The DOA website has a "buyer's tips" page, DMC Houston has a "Car Inspection Checklist" and the DMC News website has a shorter "New Owner Checklist." > finally - is there anyone out there who knows where i can get a > good condition delorean in the upper midwest? Is Ohio too low in the Midwest for you? A few weeks ago I saw a very nice DeLorean that Dave Bauerle recently put up for sale at his DeLorean service facility in central Ohio. His wife was roadtesting it by using it as a daily driver for a few weeks, and she said it had been very reliable. Call him at (740) 595-3348 to see if that DeLorean has been sold. I consider Dave to be very honest and would not hesitate to buy from him. His last name is pronounced Bow-er-lee. - Mike Substelny VIN 01280, 7 years
