Hi Trevor, I live in Ottawa, Ontario Canada. I saw your post and thought I should respond. I'm the owner of vin2450 that I have happily owned for 14 years, I ended up purchasing this one owner car from Irving Texas sight unseen after having looked at 3 cars locally. It was not the fact of condition at that time as they were only 8 or 9 years new, but the fact of cost. It was more feasible to purchase the car in Texas then pay the 35,000 to 45,000can 14years ago. There are roughly a dozen Delorean's in a 20-40min drive from my home one of which resides at a home I grew up in (the Delorean was to be part of my "future") another one was 5min away (it was an 83 consolidated Canadian car with less then 800klm's on it, it was sold a few years ago to a new owner in Toronto Canada) Anyways what I'm trying to say is check locally (put out a local want ad for a Delorean) you'll be surprised with what you can find closer then you think. Once you see their prices you will be happy with purchasing from the United States, check with the members of the dmcnews group when you find one I'm sure someone will know the car and if not I'm sure someone would be happy to go check the car out for you, I know I would. Just peaces of advice try to buy one that has been driven regularly and may have minor flaws over one that has been in the garage for the past 5 or more years and has not moved. It will cost far less over the long run and you will be a happy and proud owner of a Delorean. Good luck, Stephane Vin2450 P.S. Check out this car in Toronto Canada (it does need body work though) http://firstchoiceautosalvage.com/
