[DMCForum] Re: To buy or not to buy VIN 7007 and 10792

[<erikgeerdink@xxxxxxxxx>]

Tough choice.  Both have their ups and both have their downs.  I 
guess it depends on how much work you were planning on doing before 
you even saw these deloreans.  Were you thinking you might want to do 
a frame off?  or more cosmetic and mechanical (not structural).  Do 
you plan on having a daily driver or a show car at some point?

If you were planning on buying a delorean, working on it a bit and 
driving it as much as possible, pass on both these cars and keep 
looking.  its expensive to work on these cars in the states.  i can't 
imagine what it would be like to work on them in Germany unless you 
have a great local source for parts.  

I hope for the best in your decision.  Please keep us updated.

Erik
