Re: [DML] Delorean Maintenance?

[Louie Golden <louielouieco2000@xxxx>]

It sounds to me like you need to do some homework. Read the DML
for a while, get to know some owners in your area, go to some
DeLorean meets, and then see if a DeLorean is really for you. A
DeLorean CAN be an unreliable car if you buy the WRONG ONE. Some
general advice is to steer clear of extremely low mileage
completely original cars which have been sitting. Those will
absolutely bleed you dry. We are talking you can drop
$10,000-$15,000 into one of those pretty quickly. There are also
factory recalls, and updates which are also essential to having
a safe, reliable DeLorean. Those deal with the cooling,
electrical, and fuel systems. A lot of people also feel that you
should steer clear of the really early and really late cars, and
that 5-speeds are more reliable than the automatics... but those
points are still debated. The bottom line is that DeLoreans are
now 20+ years old, and will require some TLC, money, and time in
the shop. On the upside, you can't find a cooler car with more
personality :).
