Delorean witrh 483 miles turned out to be a bust!!!

["spaceace3113" <spaceace3113@xxxx>]

i just returned from a 1300 miles roundtrip drive from NY to 
VA...very dissapointed...not because of the waste of time but because 
the car really did have the 483 miles, but...because it was a shame 
the car was neglect4ed so much ...in truth the frame was completely 
straight rust free and flawless the stainbless was also perfect with 
the exception of a very minor very fixable little ding on the drivers 
fender...so far so good....it even came with the owners manual and 
original bill of sale for $20500.....it even had the original 
NCTs...the bad news .....all the rubber was dry rotted, the front and 
rear fascias were warped from i guess geat or something, they didnt 
conform well to the fenders/quarter panels...the interior was 
excellent but the seats were dry....the fuel distributor was 
removed...and possibly tinkered with....and there was somewhat of an 
oil leaked around the oil pan... and the stainless on the roof didnt 
line up too well with the doors although it was adjustable...and 
ofcourse the door hydraulics were not really holding up too good...my 
best estimation to make this thing pristine was about 8-
9000...bringing the car up to $24,000 i did make an offer of 13G... 
but the idiot didnt want to hear it....unfortunate and sad i would 
have loved to restore this one....what do you guys think??? was i 
right to pass it up??....and does anyone have a low up to 3500 mile 
or so car for sale??? thanx guys
