I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you probably could have had your bills cut in half if you had used ANY other vendor for your repairs. I'm not bashing here just my opinion. D1 may still do great work I have no idea, but they charge a ton. I would contact Don Steger at http://www.deloreanmotorcenter.com/ I am sure he would give you a fair shake out in California.

Just got finished with my last DMC fiasco and wanted some advice... I bought a 1981 with 12,000 miles on it for $14,000 (I know now that the millages is obviously wrong) from the cars second owner. The car was advertised as "excellent condition" etc. I took it for a test drive and bought it. Well, to make a long story short within 2 months I had to pay Delorean One Motors of Los Angeles, CA almost $20,000 for repairs. The car was a chop job and all the major systems and components had to be replaced. I've just spent another $3,000 in repairs for more things that popped up and now I have a fuel system issue. I haven't even begun to refurb the interior (I want to replace the seats and carpet). I don't see the car as a financial investment; I just love and enjoy owning and driving it. I'm just sick of every day a new problem popping up and don't know when to call it quits as far as putting money in it.
