I thought I'd ask the question, and these are the answers I got.
Feel free to have your own opinions, but it's insightful, if you're not a Full-Time DeLorean Service Professional.
Top 5 Traits of a Good DeLorean Customer (GDC):
1. Awareness of factors involved. Pre-educated. Via Forums, Service Manuals, Buyers Guide, (takes advantage of available information.)
2. Realistic and reasonable expectations (35 year old car) must be ready for whatever is discovered under the various layers. $1000./year rule of thumb. (Be prepared to spend an average of $1000. per year, for every year the car has sat in storage in order to restore it. Also, be prepared to spend an average of $1000. per year to regularly maintain the car.
3. Can afford owning the car.
4. Have a written clear / specific goal in mind for what you want the car to look like/ how you want it to function.
5. Mutual trust.
