[DMCForum] low mileage car

["alex morgan" <mauibarber@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I looked at a car very similar to this car today.  The body was in better 
shape but it had 7000 miles, original tires and no updates.  I tried to 
explain to the owner that the car needed a lot of work but he kept telling 
me it was fine becasue it was running.  He wouldn't tell me what he wanted 
for the car but looked shocked when I told him nice ones go for $21,000 and 
that this one needs at least $5000 worth of parts and labor to make it 
reliable.  Quick side question.  That rust pic on that 725 mile car looks a 
little like the rust under the car I saw.  Can this be sanded and painted or 
is it a sign of bad things to come?  It also frustrates me that delorean 
sellers on ebay promote the fact that there car is all orginal with nothing 
touched like its a good thing.  I would much rather the updates and old 
parts be updated rather than have the original alternator, overflow bottle 
etc.

Wow, the 725 mile car in Waterville Ohio looks REALLY rough for such
little mileage.  Especially that frame.  Damn!
