Re: [DML] Getting Ready to Buy

[Enid/Jeremiah <hispanicangeleyes@xxxxxxxxx>]

Let me save you from making a "huge setback" mistake
like I did.

Travel.  If you're looking at buying one of these cars
- driving out to see it or even flying out shouldn't
be but a flutter of your eyes.  I would drive out with
another DeLorean owner and have them thoroughly
inspect everything.  One of my friends spent over 4
hours just looking, climbing, crawling, and twisting
their body in every angle imgaginable to make sure the
car was worth the money.  Get the VIN #, and ask all
DeLorean vendors if they've done any work on the car
or know any history about the car in question. 
Whatever you end up paying, have another $1000-$3000
ready for anything you don't expect.

Insurance.  I have USAA - they didn't stutter once
over the phone.  Under 5 minutes and it was done.  I
went to my local tax collector to get my title - took
at most 20 minutes (and one week to get the title in
the mail).  In regards to MA, I'm in FL - so hopefully
someone else will have answers there.

Lastly, if you do want it brought to you after you've
inspected it with another owner, I delat with A+ Auto
Transport.  They were very professional.  The driver
picked it up on Friday the 7th, and it was delivered
on Tuesday the 11th (back in 2003).  He did a
pre-inspection on the vehicle and had the previous
owner sign it, and then I inspected the vehicle and
signed for it.  I had his cell phone number so I knew
exactly where he was the whole time.  Very
professional - well worth the $775.00 I paid.

Good luck to you.

Jeremiah
