Re: [doc] Re: Looking for a DeLorean

[DANIEL SHANE <daniel.shane@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi James,

Well Im sure glad that you did sell me that car it's
turned out to be a very fun project.

After alot of hard work, rebuilding the cooling
system, steering, cleaning all the electrical contacts
in the engine and roof, new door, new interior, new
exhaust, new angle drive, complete rebrushing of the
stanless, repainting the facias, new wheels and tires,
the car now looks and drives like it's new.

As it's been kept in hot texas every nut and bolt has
undone with now problems at all.

If you ever get another like that I'll have it.  I
fancy a painting one.  Maybe black or ruby red with a
3.0 24 Valve Turbo Charged PRV.

If you like to see it I'll post some before and after
pictures.

Many Thanks

Dan

In regards to Colm's and Dan statements, we sell what
we call 
"pre-owned" and "remanufactured" cars.

The "pre-owned" cars are either cars that we have
taken on consignment 
or cars that we have purchased, completed the
necessary services to be 
good, reliable daily driver type cars that are very
presentable. There 
may be minor cosmetic issues that can be addressed as
the time and 
budget of the new owner allows. These range in the
high-teens to 
mid-twenties. These cars usually carry no warranty
other than to cover 
what we have done to the car to present it for sale.

Daniel's car was a "special" in that it was the one
and only "project 
car" that we have ever sold. A good, solid car, that
if we still had it 
today, we might not have sold the way we did. I
*still* get inquiries 
from people wanting to buy that car. :-)

The "remanufactured" cars are cars that we have
purchased, stripped to a 
bare frame and rebuilt using a combination of new old
stock (NOS), new 
OEM and reproduction parts. All of our improved parts
are installed on 
these cars including window motors, door handles,
switches, seat covers, 
headliners, etc. Basically the only things that carry
over from the 
donor car are the underbody (if undamaged), any
flawless stainless 
panels, flawless rear window, and VIN plates. These
cars carry a 2-year 
powertrain warranty and a 6-month/6,000 mile
bumper-to-bumper warranty. 
They start at $37,500 and are offered with various
options including the 
performance engine, suspension, wheels, luggage racks,
stripes, etc. 
They are all "built to spec" and it takes about 30
days to complete one. 
We are currently backordered about 4 months on these.

We've had a period of time where all the pre-owned
cars are selling 
before we can publicly announce them (due to a waiting
list of people 
looking for specific interior/transmission
combinations) or becoming 
"donor cars" for the remanufacturing program. However,
there will be two 
or three listed late this week or early next week.

I would caution someone against buying a car from Ebay
WITHOUT A 
PERSONAL INSPECTION by someone who knows a bit about
DeLoreans - try the 
DML to find someone near the car you are considering.
PJ Grady and 
DeLorean Motor Center also have cars for sale from
time to time, and 
they are a good bet, too.

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Regards,

James Espey
