Re: [DML] Looking for a DMC

["Joe OBrien" <joeyoseppijoe@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've bought both of my cars from similar situations. The 83 was from 
a retired lawyer in Colorado who simply never drove it, just over 
3,000 miles when I got it. But he was a no expenses spared guy. Had 
a local volvo shop replace all fuel parts, injectors. Just some 
minor going over & updating and the car is fine. More to come for 
this car later down the road. Still lots of original stuff to change 
over.

My 81 was from an owner so old, he was dead. I bought it off his 
wife, she was too old to even sell it. Her neighbor who ran a Honda 
dealership got it out to show me and send me information on it. 
Again he never drove it, or did almost ANY work to it. Short of the 
fuel distributor I've replaced the entire fuel system, cooling 
system. Brake lines, and all electrical updates. No recalls were on 
the car, had to do them myself. Just part of the fun of learning how 
the car works. Now when something starts acting up, it isn't so bad. 
Just as long as I can figure it out. Almost ANY 20+ year old car 
will require some tweaking adjustment here & there. But I can't 
speak for the refurbished cars.

Both cars aside from needing minor tweaks to awake from their 20 
year sleep are in near perfect shape. So I kinda like buying the old 
man garage cars. Just you have some work to do to them. And look it 
over before you buy of course.

Good Luck,

Joe O'Brien
