You have to put it all into perspective. If Chris bought a DeLorean for $8k that only needed a couple thousand dollars worth of work, he got one heck of a deal. That should have been a $12k car (note that I'm assuming a lot, not having looked at the car myself). As for your car, it sounds like most of the mechanicals were trashed, so $5k was probably appropriate. Although, if the body, frame & interior were all excellent, $5k sounds low and you probably got a great deal. Also, look at it from a restoration standpoint. Both of you are doing major, major work to your cars. Frame off restorations. The flooded car needs the same thing done to it, and it's priced similarly. Seems appropriate to me. Anyway, I also hope the car can be saved, instead of parted out. Not that I mind more parts on the market, but I'd rather an entire car be driving around somewhere. -- - Ryan http://www.memfrag.com - Make your favorites globally accessible To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
