[DML] Re: Restoring a D

["Travis Graham" <tgraham@xxxx>]

Alex,

A few years ago there was theory circulating that it took on around $20k to
get an great/excellent/near-perfect DeLorean. This theory also included the
notion that you could pay for any reasonable car and get it up to excellent
condition with the difference between $20k and what you dumped into the
initial purchase.

As with anything else, I'm sure there are many exceptions. We'll also have
to be a bit flexible regarding certain criteria which could drastically
affect results (such as the balance of do-it-yourself vs. repair shop).

>From my personal experience, I think that this theory is right on target!
Though I seem to have required a little more than the average :( and I'm not
quite done!

Does anyone want to modify the original theory?

Travis

Subject: [DML] Restoring a D


Hi,

I have been saving up for a D but currently I don't even have 1/2 of what it
would cost to purchase one in good running condition. I was wondering what
would be involved and how expensive it would be to buy a D if far from
excellent running condition and restoring it to showroom.

Thanks for your help,

Alex.
