What do you mean? The car has no current functional problems of any kind the fuel system and cooling systems have recently been replaced and the electricals all function except for the passenger door which I know will cost about 250.00 for a new motor if I cant service it myself which I probably will be able to do.I have alot of exp with electrical motors and systems and anything I cant fix my friend can who repairs all kinds of electric devices and I do mean ALL kinds.The body of this paticular delorean is in excellent condition since it was never driven on salty roads (spent all its life in florida) the only damage a panel I mentioned is very small and I was planning on letting it go till the car is paid for.If it does come to it I will store the car in my fathers garage till I have the money to pay for developed problems.The interior has been replaced granted its probably not original delorean spec (it doesnt look it)but It is in nice condition.I can paint the plastic stuff myself which is no big deal.what repairs came out to 5000 and 3200 dollars did you do those repairs yourself?I talked with the seller who is a delorean owner himself and he told me the engine parts are readily available since it is a very standard engine,or I can switch it out with a chevy engine which is even more available.Did you rack up those big bills at a mechanic?Actually the price of deloreans is climbing if you havent noticed and there are less in circulation every year collectors are slowly but surely tucking them away beyond reach.Please tell me your thoughts on this thanks! stupadazzo2002 - mopar2me-swbell.net wrote: Heh, well, it sounds as if you're about to get what you deserve for NOT waiting. You'll pay dearly (from the pocketbook in the long-run) for hurrying into this deal. But... I can only say this. I know for a fact that you will NOT understand what I mean for maybe another year or so when it all catches up with you. So I don't expect you to understand at this point. When it comes to DeLoreans you DEFINETELY get what you pay for. You'd be better off waiting and finding one that is in much better condition. Trust me there's tons of them out there for sale in much better condition than what you're describing. And there'll still be many, many out there whwen you can better afford it. Chris #3876
