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

Ryan, I honestly think you're better off saying "no" and investigate
importing from the US. The ironic thing is that my second DeLorean came
from
near Freiburg - #4426, which is in the process of getting a new engine and
seats, plus minor cosmetics.

There are some real bargains in te US if you look hard enough. I would not
personally shy away from a car with a rusty chassis as longas the price
reflected it.

I paid $7500 for "Lex" with an immacuate frame, just needed a good service
and interior cosmetics.
