It depends on how much you want to spend for the car. If you get one of DMC Houston's refurb cars it will not be a hassle. If you buy off eBay I guarantee you are in for trouble. If you buy off the DML it will probably be somewhere in between. I bought vin 2277 off the DML and while the car was technically drivable non of the updates were done and several parts needed replacing. I had to perform them myself (check the archives) to avoid thousands and thousands of dollars in repair bills. My car is now in very reliable, I paid $13,000 for it and have replaced $1,500 worth of parts. It still needs cosmetic help. Do not expect to pay less than $13,000 for a good DMC.
