[DML] Re: Arkansas Delorean

Run the other way!!!

I checked it out about 2 months ago. Water in the oil (blown head 
gasket?),it's overheated many times, rusty frame, no body panels line 
up.

 The Odometer reads 42XXX or so but the cable has been disconnected 
and the car's wear isn't consistent. In fact the car's wear is more 
consistent with an un-maintained 140,000 mile car. The interior is 
heavily worn and underneath looks like it was driven regularly down a 
gravel road.

It's electrical system is shot, melted fues box, previous owner quick 
fix jury rigging, and it looks like someone jumped it in the air 
General Lee style when you look under the front. Lots of hidden 
damage there.

I could go on and on about how bad of shape it's in.

The owner pleads ignorance and that the car is fine. Yet in the trunk 
were print outs of pages from Delorean.com, even though the owner 
acted as though he didn't know you could still get parts. I saw many 
printouts for the parts I saw that needed replacing, including the 
headgasket and more printouts for parts I hadn't even looked at so 
there is more hidden.

He originally was asking $13,500 but quickly came down to $6,000!!

The only way that car would be worth buying was if it were $2500 and 
you planned on making a super custom or something. Otherwise it's 
nearing the end of its life cycle and will be parts soon.
