Re: [DML] Financing a delorean-Question to all

Paul,

i hope i don't offend, but i am assuming you are college-age or younger. 
would that be correct? i myself am nearly 20 and in college. i took out a 
loan on my DeLorean when i was 18 right out of high school and for the first 
year, i poured way more money into the car than i had previously assumed i 
would need. i mean thousands more. and my car wasn't shabby when i bought 
it, i'm just improving it, making it show-worthy, making it perfect and 
reliable. and i'm almost there. i had a decent job then and was making 
enough disposable income to make my car payments easily but all the parts 
went on a credit card. now i'm working to pay all of that back!!!! 
definitely keep the 'extra expenses' in mind. 

the trick is to buy a car that is cheap enough for your budget (a loan 
officer can help you figure that out) but one that isn't so crappy that it 
will need a lot of work in order to be driveable and give you instant 
enjoyment. if it turns out you are just on the edge of being able to afford 
it .... DON'T!! you will only be frustrated and probably have to sell it 
months down the line. also - if you think it will be your only vehicle - 
think again!! you will probably be walking to work/school quite a bit!!! 
stuff happens..

at first buying my DeLorean was a major setback for someone my age but 
personally it has been worth it. i love my car and i hope i will have it 
forever! the most fun is being with other owners at club events. 

the truth is, most young people probably can't afford a toy car like this 
(especially one in poor condition). luckily i'm in financially good shape 
for my age. i'm only 19, haven't even finished school yet and i already 
gross $30,000 a year with my newest promotion (store manager of a national 
quick-lube chain). i even get to use my shop whenever i feel like - makes 
oil changes, trans fluid changes, radiator flushes etc super easy!! i 
consider myself pretty well off for my age - if you are in that position too, 
then by all means...

GET YOURSELF A DELOREAN AND ENJOY IT!!!
