Jeff and everyone else thinking about purchaseing a D, Let me just put my 2 cents in here. If your thinking about buying a DeLorean let me advise you to try to purchase your D through the list. That is what I did. Actually I purchased my DeLorean through Rich(d_rex_2002). Your best bet is to buy a D from someone who loves and knows the car. If you would like to get a car that you know has been well taken care of then watch what Rich has coming on the market. He has many projects all the time and is one of the most expierenced guys out there on the D. You have to understand the history behind your car in order to protect yourself. As a senerio I bought an '84 Fiero 2M4 from a guy who guarennted me it ran like, and I quote "Like a raped ape" Needless to say there is not an inch of this car I have not had to rebuild in one way, shape, or form in order to get it up to my level of satisfaction. Okay, maybe my level of satisfaction is slightly higher then most, but you need to understand where your car is coming from before you can understand where you can go with it. Another problem I ran into with the 2M4 was an undisclosed lien on the title. If you deal with Rich your never going to have such a problem. I have delt with him and I can honestly say he is just an all around nice guy. He helped me when nobody else would and he made my dream come true. Rich takes pride in his cars. Hes not going to blow you off or not answer questions and hes very honest and to the point. Rich is just one of the many great guys on the DML. If you want a DeLorean and you don't want a headach I'd stay in house with the DML. watch the "for sale section" and ask alot of questions and keep an eye on some of the projects the other members are working on. More high quality, well taken care for DeLoreans come through here then say on E-Bay.
