Finding DeLoreans in USA



Hi Brit-DMCers,

Another good source for DeLoreans in USA is "Hemmings" magazine (I think available in UK in specialist mag shops!?)

Also Trader-Online is an excellent source for cars all over USA. Gives you an idea of prices ... some are realistic, some rediculous, in all there is room for negotiation.

As Martin or Dan said, there is no substitute for being there to see the car yourself. Know what you are looking at by getting used to the DMC - ask UK owners to look at their cars ... know to look for the typical problems, rusting frame, petrol-pump disintegrating, etc...

When you are standing there with cash in your hand a seller is more likely to drop that $2000 off the asking price! Remember people are not queing up to buy a DeLorean in USA, it takes those sellers a long time to sell a car.

I was lucky in my search and dealings. I had spent a week looking at about 10 DeLoreans in LosAngeles. I had chosen to buy one but wasn't 100% convinced so told him I'd ring the next day. That evening in the "LosAngeles Times" my car-to-be appeared. The seller was re-advertising for the 3rd time (10months) and needed to sell to pay for house renovations. I went and saw thecar and immediately knew this was the one. It was pristine, 20k miles, grey, manual, owner a lawyer, clean garage, manuals, everything, etc ... the asking price was $2k less than the other car I was considering. Eventually we shook on a deal $4k cheaper than I was about to spend the evening before for a not-as-good car! NO substitute for being there yourself!!!

Cheers, IAN
