Greetings,
I am a new member and am in the market to purchase any year DeLorean with a 5sp, prefer grey interior, but may take black. I have been a DeLorean enthusiast my whole life. Started in the mid 80's when BTTF was released. I remember my dad pointing out one sitting in a used BMW dealership in Rockford, IL in the late 80's and I was in total awe. To make things even better and fuel my desire, I had a friend that was a doctor during my high school years that owned a 82' with a 5sp and he used to let me wash, clean and detail the car a few times a year and in exchange for my services he used to let me take it out for a saturday night granted i promised not to get into trouble and return it the following day. It was a awesome experience. So with that being said, ive started my hunt for a car. I looked online at Midwest DMC but they seem quite limited on cars and rather high on prices. I know DMC in Florida have many more to choose from and would not cross that option out, but it would be swell to find one closer to me, even I accept the fact this may be unrealistic. With that being said I would spend somewhere in the mid $20k for a decent car. Im not looking for a stage 2 and lots of aftermarket accessories. Just a stock car in good shape with a frame that isnt rusted and that will make a dependable car to take to car shows and do a little bit of driving during the summer. I realize and accept the fact that they are finicky cars with quirks, but I am also a aircraft owner so I am used to high maintenence machines and am willing to take the time and patients and supply money to keep it road worthy. Any feedback good or bad or info would be greatly appreciated in regards to my search. Thank you in advance,
Dustin
