Re: Buying DeLoreans on ebay?

["shainbrannan" <shain@xxxx>]

In my quest to buy a DeLorean, i had notcied on that was one ebay. 
It did not sell so i emailed the owner privatly. After a week or so 
of discussion I went down to see/drive it home. The owner had told 
me that it was in great mechanical condition, and the car was nearly 
mint. After 8 hours worth of driving i went down to see the car. 
When i got there the car was in terrible shape, i couldn't get it 
over 10 mph, and had custom made crappy dash board. The orgional 
ncts were split wid open, etc. The man who owned it had boughten the 
car with 12,000 miles on it, 8 years later it still had the same 
mileage. It was a toaly waste of a weekend and 16 hours worth of 
driving. But, you'll find you gem somewhere.
