Hello All, There is a guy in my area trying to unload a DeLorean that he's had in front of his salvage yard for quite a while. The advertised price was $7500. When I asked him about it, he immediately dropped the price to $5000, but I suspect that I could get him to go lower. As for the car, it needs a lot of work. Currently it isn't running. He said that the car was running about six months ago, but that the fuel pump has gone out. Regardless of whether this is true or not, the car cannot be driven to verify the condition of the motor or the transmission. The car's interior is in pretty bad shape. The driver's side door does not open and close properly. It looks like someone may have forced it closed at some point. The passenger side door opens, but does not stay open. The windshield is cracked and all of the rubber that I could see from outside the car looked dried out. I just spend a few minutes checking out the cosmetics. I didn't dig into the engine bay. One of the body panels has a small dent, but other than that they look pretty good. So, I guess my question is at what point does a DeLorean become a write off or at least a seriously bad investment. I'm looking for a car needing some TLC that I can slowly bring back to life. I'd be interested in anyone's opinions on this. Thanks, Gary ps. I didn't see any rust, but are there any areas in particular to check out. The car is currently in Georgia, but I'm not sure how long it has been here.
