Re: [doc] Re: FW: Delorean for sale

["Ian Foster" <ian@xxxx>]

Hi Tommy, Chris, et al in 'Blighty',

Another couple of people emailed me from the DML about this LasVegas car.
One of them had been to see the car and described it as a "project" with
rust holes in the frame, crease in door, broken central-console, buggered
facia, etc, etc ... a bit different from the Sellers "perfect original
condition with spotless, rust-free frame"

As Chris said earlier, everyone wanting to buy in USA while residing in UK
take note, here lies a BIG expensive trap! Better have a DMLer, or
relative, or anyone take a look at the real car! Ask Huston or D1 if they
have history on that vin#. The photos of the car sent by the Seller to me
made her look immaculate!

Thankfully I never trust too good a deal and double check everything. I
would however agree with Tommy about the price ... its a buyers market!

Ok, be warned!

Cheers, IAN (aka, the "Irish retard!")
