Hello Robert,

It sounds like you want to have your cake and eat it too! How can a vender,
or anybody else, provide you with high quality rebuilt parts without having
a previously acquired source of cores? Use your common sense! It's no ones
fault you need to restore your car and drive it at the same time!

Sincerely,

Robert Grady

No, I'm not saving parts. It's just that when you take a car that is 
a rolling restoration, and use it as a daily driver, it's your only 
car, AND you're restoring it on a budget... Core charges can be a bit 
cost prohibitive for certain repairs. Such as my brake system. $30 
for a Master Cylinder, and $400 for my calipers is a bit too pricey 
for me to complete the project all at once. Even though I realize 
that I get the money back, I'd much rather not have to figure in such 
high core charges. Otherwise if my car wasn't a daily driver, I'd 
just send the parts in ahead of time before ordering, to avoid the 
charge all together.

Now the other problem is that I truly don't know if I will get my 
entire core fees back. The majority of problems that I've had to sort 
thru on my car have been caused from both neglect, and incompetent 
mechanics. And the use of substandard parts as well. I've had a 
clutch slave cylinder before that was welded, and couldn't get full 
value for it back. Understandable, since it was physicly damaged. But 
since vendors require true DeLorean parts upon return, and who knows 
what parts have been installed onto my car by the past owner, I've no 
clue as to how much of my core charges, if any, I will get back.
