This is all too common. One of the reasons the DeLorean sometimes still has a bad reputation among car people. The stainless can look perfect, even if the car is a poor example of a DeLorean. If your $20K number includes labor, you may be better off selling this car (even if it is at a small loss) and finding a better one. Someone looking to restore the car themselves could probably get it fixed for less. --- bttfcalifornia <bttfcalifornia@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Anyone on this list considering buying a DMC use > caution before you > buy.
