Re: Looking at a car to buy...

Even if we could give you all the info you needed nothing beats 
having an experienced eye to go with you. Try to find a local owner or 
group, someone will help you. You can also call the nearest Delorean 
vender, if the car has any repair history with them they can help you, 
they usually need a vin # to look it up. With all of the work 
performed try to talk to the mechanic who did it. See if he knows what 
he is doing and how much experience he has on "D"'s if not a Delorean 
vender. It is great for all the work to be done but if not done 
correctly then there will be a lot to fix!!!!
