Re: [DML] Should new owner be non-mechanic

If you really love DeLoreans, I would totally recommend realizing your
dream. I'm only eighteen, but I recently bought mine for a daily driver.
Everyone said I was in over my head, but I've wanted one since I was a small
boy. Granted, I'm fairly inept and most things I repair have a way of
breaking/catching fire, but I'm learning a lot. I choose one with slightly
more mileage (60,000) because I knew many things had already been replaced
and the fuel system was in good condition. I've made it a point to learn as
much as I can because I want to be able to fix anything that might go wrong.
It's held up great for a 20 year old car.

If you do decide to get one, do a good inspection. Get a repair manual and
make sure you have the necessary tools for basic repair and maintenance.
And of course, the DML is probably the best resource a DeLorean owner can
have.

These really are great cars. I love mine every day, It's the best purchase
I've ever made.
