Sorry, but I must disagree with this comment. The sellers don't have much
control over the final price of auctions on ebay. I find ebay to be a
reasonable and decent place to look for delorean parts (or anything else).
In open auctions, the price rises to the point the market will bear.
Seems fair for everyone involved. And there aren't many millionaires
being made by ebay auctions.
And besides, DMCNews already has a dedicated location for buying/selling
Delorean parts:

Adam:
You should attend our spring social the end of this month in NJ. There
might be cars for sale, or owners that know of cars for sale. iN either
case, it is an awesome opportunity to meet DMC owners.
Details are at www.deloreanmidatlantic.com/events/events.htm#spring

Does anyone have an Automatic Delorean in excellent condition that they
want to sell? I live in Pennsylvania and am looking for a car preferably
on
the east coast.
Thanks,
Adam

Subject: AC Decal Question
Well the little updates of 10680 continue. My new lift pistons, O2 Sensor,
and AC Decal came in yesterday from PJ Grady. However, I have a slight
issue with the Decal - it's different - waaay different.
Are there two styles of AC Decal? All I've ever seen in a D were the style
seen in my 82. Did they change to a different decal for the late 82s and
83s or did they get changed in the aftermarket on purpose? Also, there is
a hole punch near the center of my sheet - is that normal?
Next up:
mode switch
Coolant Hoses (just to be sure)
Distributor and Wires (again, just to be sure)

Subject: Re: Clock and A/C light dimming.
Shortly after acquiring my Delorean, I noticed the consistant lighting of
the climate control panel. On one of my warranty excursions to the dealer
I
requested moving the power wire for the panel lights from the ignition to
the rheostat. They did, & absorbed the cost. Not sure how it was done,
but
it works well.

All of Bills comments are right on! However, IMHO,
this particular comment goes right to the heart of the
great majority of problems experienced by DeLorean
owners.

Subject: RE: Oddball plugs
My D is automatic but has those empty plugs/jacks mentioned, in the engine
compartment. I have owned it for six years. I was concerned about them.
Talked to someone who told me that, NOT wanting to reinvent the wheel,
John
and his designers looked over existing wiring harnesses and found a Jaguar
harnesss that did almost everything the D needed but left a few
plugs/jacks
with nothing to do, So that is what they used, and that left a few
dangling!! Whether that is true or not I don't know!
Most of the stories I see on here are of the above nature "I heard
someone
say" or "I read it SOMEWHERE but I can't find now", so I take it all with
a
grain of salt!!

Subject: Re: Spring Cleaning
Although the DMCNews web site has a place to list
parts for sale, I think the idea of a Spring sale is a
great one. Like justa bout everyone out there, I
,too, have a few parts that are taking up space in the
garage and would love to see them used by a fellow
DeLorean owner.
An annual "garage sale" event would be great (my wife
dictated this last line!).

Subject: DMC's Grey interior panels (clarification)
Actually, at this time ONLY these parts are redyed gray:
Drivers Side B-pillar
RH Kneepad
Console Cover
Binnacle
Grey pullstraps are reproduced from new material, as are both colors of
headliners and shift boots (black only).
All the other interior trim - upper and lower door panels, LH kneepad(s),
rear trim panels, gaiters, coin trays, a-pillars (door and windshield) is
available in original gray and black varieties.
