Gary, The question is, do you work on cars and have a basic knowledge of how they work, do you have the time and the money, and how much money are you willing to spend to bring it back to a car you would be proud to drive. I know 3 to 5 thousand is tempting, but bank on spending 10,000 + or - if you do the work to bring it back to a good looking car. I see a lot of desent cars on Ebay and thru other De lorean ad's that for more money you won't have to do as many updates and work. I bought one from Washington state and drove it home for $12,000 and another for $15,000 one owner, mint condition and 34,000 miles which is low for a 17 year old car. Garaged parked and serviced regularly. 11004 vin #. I have a friend here in Dallas that paid $12,500.00 for one that I think has less than 10,000 miles and is spending about 14,000 in restoration. Lot's to do but it was just never drove. If a person like me ran across one like what your talking about, I would buy it and park it in a covered garage and if I needed parts I would go to it. Not seeing it and by what you are saying,it would be a parts car for me.
