Delorean's are good cars but don't get me wrong because i think Delorean's are out dated but it's a real good collecter's car.

Yeah that's a good price for a solid car with a couple quirks, sounds like a beauty.

Good to see another Canadian DMC owner

Congrats!

Congratulations on your purchase! The car sounds like a good one. I'm new to this forum as well, and I bought my Delorean about 8 months ago. Mine is an '81 with the flip gas lid, and it has the radio antenna in the windshield. It has a newly upholstered interior as well as an MP3/CD player in the dash. It also has tinted windows. I only drive it about once a week, but it drives great and has not left me stranded yet.

The engine/radiator cooling fans are the only things that have broken on the car since I got it, but those are fixed now. Mine has 45,000 miles and runs great. Here are the problems it has:

1) Headliner started sagging on driver's side.
2) The engine leaks a tiny bit of oil.
3) Heat and AC don't work.
4) There are a couple of very small dings on the exterior as well as a small scratchy patch.

Other than that the car is in excellent condition. I expect to keep it running for many years to come!

Never fear, my Delorean still sucks, a lot and I wish I never bought it.





I would buy another one in a second though.
