[DMCForum] Re: Am I the only one?

["Joe OBrien" <joeyoseppijoe@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ok pardon my language here.

Most potential DMC owners are CHEAP FUCKS!!

Last winter I was selling a mint 81, Vin 3171 5 speed grey. It only 
has 2,400 miles on it and all it needed was the head gaskets 
replaced. Everything else on the car was mint, interior, stainless, 
rims, original NCT's undercarriage perfect, grooved hood.

I started off asking 15K for it, but in reality I was hoping to get 
13-135K for it, basically just a bit more than I had in it.

I had all kinds of lowlife scum calling me and lowballing me in 
every possible manner. People pretending to be "experts" on the car 
and saying in it's condition it is worth $7,500, or it should be 
used for parts. Yep, a 2000 mile Delorean as a parts car.

People calling me and not even wanting to realize the car is 
perfect, and just needs some engine work.

Basically none of these people would make what I call the "ideal 
Delorean owner" They have no passion for the car really, they just 
want one to have one, and generally would even have a shitty 
attitude about it even if they owned one. 

I was about to sell it to a guy named Vince Grenari, and at the last 
minute he tried to lowball be after he said yes to $13,750, he 
stooped to $12,500.

I had a nice guy from Kentucky named Jovan Brown fly up to see it, 
and once he saw it in person, he bought it on the spot for $13,500. 
He really was excited, and he had the passion for the car, that we 
all have. You could tell it talking with him.

When Vince called me the next day to raise his offer to $13,000, and 
I had the great pleasure to basically call him a cheap fuck and that 
it was sold to someone who would appreciate it. Turns out this Vince 
guy has done the lowball approach to every Delorean owner in or near 
Ohio for years, and he still doesn't have one. Probably never will, 
as the car has to be almost perfect, need NO work, and be way below 
market value. And he drove up in a $50,000 BMW.

Jovan recently moved to a house without a garage, and he ended up 
selling it for $17,500 after he fixed the head gaskets, even after 
he drove it 9,000 miles last year.


Som YES, every idiot and lowballing bastard will come out of the 
woodwork trying to lowball you to death, and for some reason, 
ESPECUALLY with a Delorean. Never had as many cheap bastards when I 
sold my other cars (camaros, mustang).



Best of luck selling it for what you need to get out of it.
