Corey, I am also 19 years old, soon to be 20, and I have wanted a DeLorean since I was 8, thats a little over 10 years. But you cant just dream to make this dream come true, unless your parrents are willing to fork over 15-20 grand for your first car. You must take action. Since I was 10, I have been saving nearly every dime I possibly could towards this grand purchase. All these years I have saved only 8,500 dollars, not bad for nearly minimum wage jobs, but still technicaly only half way for a "Decent" car, not to mention the 32 thousand for a refurbished "new" model. I plan it to take another 3-4 years before I can possibly buy one with Cash, but I just cant wait that long. But, your only 15, I would do the best I could to save at least $3000- 4000 dollars as a downpayment before I went and bought a car, and by that time you will be around 18-19 (if your lucky). As much as I hate to admit it, you should around 24-25 before you buy one, that way you can appreciate it, and had time to rag out on other cars. As for me, my dream (whether or not I can really afford it) will come true this summer, come he@@ or high water. Tom Porter Vin: Summer 2003 (Vin 787 ?) Waiting for 10 years! -------------------------------------------- >Corey, I'm 19. I bought my DeLorean when I was 18. (No-parents didn't help. I looked into buying one the first time right about the age of this young fellow... It is unrealisitc at 15 or 16.. Don't worry about owning a DeLorean now. SAVE MONEY... when you do go buy one the 5k + downpayment will be tremondously helpful in getting credit. > James L 4009
