Ah I am not too worried about it. After they put it up on the lift, they
showed me that most everything else was ok on the car. Typical things,
interior work, need transmission mounts, and a small leak from a sensor
that they said was common. Also, it needs one of the boots on the front,
and the reinforcement recall on the front. Even if I spend $5300 on a
new engine, I'm still in the car for around $15k, which leaves financial
room to do some interior stuff. Also, I have the old engine which is
blown, and possibly rebuild able. Also included in the deal was BOXES of
parts and a spare passenger door. The PO was unaware that the engine
wasn't Delorean. Even after seeing the two side by side, I STILL can't
tell the two apart, they look exactly the same.

It sounds like you should have visited DMCH BEFORE you bought this
car. At the very least you might have had the car inspected by someone
familiar with Deloreans before you plunked down your money for this
particular car. Your anger should have been directed at the person you
bought the car from, not the shop that explained what you did to
yourself. Steve and James will help you spend your money now trying to
get it right but you could have avoided this by either buying another
car or barganing the price on this one to account for all the repairs
that it will need. In the long run you are always better off having
the car serviced by someone who knows what they are doing. Even a call
to DMCH before might have tipped you off as to the car's condition,
DMCH keeps records on all the cars they service. Even if they couldn't
tell you anything about this car than that in itself would be a
warning because the car is so close that they SHOULD know all about
it. Be prepared to spend a lot more as you use the car and find other
things that aren't right. When you don't do your "homework" before
buying a car you know nothing about you get yourself into situations
like this.
