[DML] Soon-to-be owner seeks opinions

[Ryan McCaffrey <ryanjm@xxxx>]

Greetings everyone,

I've been a lurker on the list for around 2 years now, watching and
learning. I am finally ready, though, to break my silence and buy a D.

Anyway, I'm currently looking into a car in Las Vegas. Whatever car I
get, I will be driving it frequently. It will be a daily driver, in
fact. The D I'm looking at has 62k miles (verified to be actual
miles). Disregarding the plethora of other questions regarding the
car's condition, etc. which need to be asked, my question to all of you
is this:

Is it wise to buy a car with 62,000 miles on it? What kind of mileage
do you guys have on your cars? I've read of a couple of list members
with 200,000+ mile cars, but I'd like to know what the average DeLorean
owner has on his car and the extent of the car's reliability beyond the
big 100k.

Also, does anyone live in Las Vegas that would be willing to be my eyes
and examine the car? (I know it's a lot to ask) Or, does anyone know of
a shop in Vegas that has experience working on the D that I could have
the car inspected at?

I'd like to thank everyone in advance for their help, regarding both
this matter and any future questions I may have. After witnessing the
support this group provides each other over the last two years, I know
for a fact that you are all awesome and I look forward to joining the
group as an owner.

I'm not sure what kind of worth this thread would provide to the group
as a whole, so feel free to email me privately.

Thanks,
