Robert, Well then, here is what I would recommend... Definitely check out the 'pre-restored' offerings at PJ Grady and DMC Houston. I don't know if the smaller, regional DMC's have these restored cars yet, but I am sure it is in the pipeline. >From what I hear, they start with cars that are already pretty decent and take them the rest of the way. It doesn't make business sense to start with a car in poor shape only to restore it and have to sell it at the same price as the ones that needed less work (labor) to get in good shape, since the buyer doesn't care how it started. So, buying a clunker and sending it out will not be cheaper than buying one out-right. The internet/ebay can be great, but it depends on the amount of patience you have and your tolerance for risk. Hope that helps! Andy In a message dated 5/16/2007 10:35:59 A.M. Central Daylight Time, rbgdmc@xxxxxxxxx writes: Thanks for your response. I absolutely want t a "new" out of the box Delorean and defiantly a car to drive almost daily. I don't want to mortgage my house to get it :). I am not looking to restore one myself. Hope this helps.
