Re: Mileage on a Delorean - does it matter?

["Bob Thomason" <rdt7@xxxx>]

I bought my Delorean a few months back. I looked at cars with both low and high mileage. I wound up buying a car with 70,000 miles on it vs. a low mileage one. The reason: reliability. I bought the car to drive. The first time I drove one, I couldn't get the grin off my face. I understand the need to pamper your favorite machine, but one thing I've learned in 20 years maintaining vehicles (cars and airplanes) is the ones that are operated regularly are in the best shape. Personally I wouldn't worry about mileage under about 125,000 if the car has been well maintained. BTW, the way to get a deal on a Delorean (or any vehicle for that matter) is find one someone else has restored it to your liking. You'll pay a lot less than if you do all the upgrades/mods, etc.
