Delorean One (Was: Re: [DML] Re: Chassis removal)

[E Grauff <datamonk@xxxx>]

The advice I give people about DeLorean One is to only call them if you
really intend on buying a part. When I first got my D', the previous
owner told me to call them - that they were very nice and helpful. So I
did a few times, just to get prices and get a feel for what I was up
against. Then I had a minor accident in the car, and posted here looking
for used parts since I knew the insurance company was going to knock the
estimate way down.

The next time I called there, credit card in hand, I was told they
wouldn't quote me prices, that they didn't have time for me - and that
they had seen my post looking for used parts. (Hmmm, maybe that's why I
don't post my VIN here anymore . . . ) Their loss . . . and my gain, since
the other sources (and this newsgroup) have been very helpful since then,
but I'm getting off track.

It all comes down to that they are only a resource if you are spending
money there. So if you want my two bits - if you are a new owner, deal
with everyone else until you find something the other places don't have.
Then call DeLorean One, tell them your Vin and order the part if they have
it. Just don't expect any help on the phone until then.
