RE: [doc] Finding DeLoreans in USA

[Senatorpack@xxxx]

Gentleman,

If there is a need to preform a pre purchase inspection on a DeLorean here on the East Coast of the United States, from an experienced owner's perspective, I could accommodate you or locate another owner in the area that the DeLorean you are considering is currently located.

In addition, your DOC web page looks great!

That evening in the "LosAngeles Times" my car-to-be appeared. The seller was re-advertising for the 3rd time (10months) and needed to sell to pay for house renovations. I went and saw the car and immediately knew this was the one. It was pristine, 20k miles, grey, manual, owner a lawyer, clean garage, manuals, everything, etc ... the asking price was $2k less than the other car I was considering. Eventually we shook on a deal $4k cheaper than I was about to spend the evening before for a not-as-good car! NO substitute for being there yourself!!!
