Hi Ben, My advice ... Look around for other DMCs to compare this car with! There are always a few for sale on the DMC List web page, thye Trader mags, etc. 117k miles is VERY high for a DeLorean! When I bought my first DMC in 1998 I was many with only 25k to 30k miles. I bought a 100% perfect grey interior, manual, no gas flap, '81, with 28k miles for only $10,500.oo in Los Angeles! Cheers, IAN (HongKong) Vins. 0780, 1205, & 6425 *************************************
