Corey, I'm 19.
I bought my (first) DeLorean when I was 18. (No- my parents didn't 
help-- well not monitarily. My dad's helped a lot repairing my 
cars :P )
I looked into buying one the first time right about the age of this 
young fellow... It is unrealisitc at 15 or 16.. The insurance is 
crazy on a Kia for a youthful driver.. let alone a DeLorean. And 
you'd be stupid to go without full coverage.

Unless you know them personally, NO owner will let you pay in 
installments. I doubt you'll be able to get a credit line either... 
but if so (dispite what some may say) this is the route to go. Build 
credit AND Live the Dream.
If you plan on going to college and aren't a made man (IE; inherited 
a lot of money) you can't afford DeLorean at 16-25 yrs old. Period. 
Unless your company pays for your schoolins and you have a very 
fortunate position.

Don't worry about owning a DeLorean now. SAVE MONEY... when you do go 
to buy one the 5k + downpayment will be tremondously helpful in 
getting credit.

I know what you feel like - I was there 4 years ago. And look at my 
DeLorean-owning self now (she's en route to Grady's at present).

You'll get there! Live the Dream!!
