Re: New to list and New York Owners.

There are a lot of us! You really do have to stop by P.J. Grady and 
look around. You won't be going home without one or at least you will 
be motivated to save up quicker. Yes he does sell Deloreans and since 
the one you saw is close by he might even look it over for you. If you 
have the last 6 digits of the vin he could probably give you it's 
history since he probably saw the car at some time in it's life. He 
can help you locate one if you don't see any you like. The local clubs 
are also a good place to look as some members sell or know of cars for 
sale. If you can make it, there is a holiday social 12/08 in Princeton 
where you could met other owners and maybe find the car of your 
dreams! For more info on the dinner contact Gary Gore. His E-Mail is 
Dmc3360@xxxxx There are several members of this list on Long 
Island. $20,000 for a beater is HIGH. Without looking at the car but 
from your description I would guess it to be worth about $15-17,000 
depending on mechanical condition. Don't forget you cannot blow the 
budjet buying the car, you must also have some money budjeted for 
repairs and maintaince, tax, and insurance. Fixing "all those little 
thigs" can quickly add up to $$$$. You must learn to inspect for the 
BIG things like a rusted out frame, collision damage, engine trouble, 
and transmission problems. These are the "budjet busters". If Rob 
can't look over the prospective car find an owner who can help. Don't 
go crazy over a low mileage car as in cars this old mileage isn't 
everything, condition and how it was cared for become very important.
