What to look for

[Gazman]

Hi All I live in Australia and new to this forum, I am looking at buying a De Lorean project as I want to work on the car myself. My questions are... what to look for, is any year better than another? is a hood gas flap better? Manual or Auto? I just want a complete driver, that I can stripdown and start over.Then what price should I pay for a fair project?? Thanks.

The guide is good for learning about VIN-specific differences and some things to look for when shopping for a car, but won't help with pricing information.

This forum might be your best source of info when gauging a fair price, as well as helpful info overall.

If you find a car you're interested in, post pics with questions if possible....you can get a lot of help here.

Here's a thread I posted when I bought my first DeLorean in 2013 to show a bit of how I approached the process:
