Where do I buy a Delorean?

[loyalty4life]

Hello,

As you may notice, I am very new to the Delorean community. I have a large interest in doing research and buying one. I have no idea where to look. Major car websites and apps don't have Deloreans listed, neither does craigslist. Where does one look? Is this the best place ultimately? Where do you look? I noticed DMC's website has used cars for sale on semi-rare occasion.

Any helpful ideas would be very appreciated! Thanks so much.

There are 10 on eBay now. There are often some on Craigslist and cars posted here by members of the community. Try to find a local club. They’ll help you.

Thank you for the feedback so far. Where would I find a local club in the Pacific Northwest? Oregon/Washington?

Hi Justin, and welcome.

DMC has franchise locations around the country, including California. You could give them a call. Great cars sell within hours of availability as there are people just like you that are already actively searching.

You may want to check out Toby's DeLorean Parts Northwest shop:
http://delorean-parts.com/
(I believe they have a new website/location.)

Getting James Espy's buying guide is always a good idea:

Also, you can check out the Pacific Northwest DeLorean Club thread to connect with local owners:

Good luck!

EDIT: If you want to spend the $50-$60k converting the car to a time machine, you may not want to spend $35-50k for a pristine car and hack it up, or maybe you would.

Hi...
Where in the PNW are you located?
I'm in Portland and a member of the Pacific Northwest DeLorean Club.
There are lots of members in the Seattle area and a few of us down here.

Be happy to help if you have any questions.

Cheers
Steve

All you have to do is wave 30k in the air and say "I got cash for a DeLorean" and owners that are selling will come and bow to your every desire.

No, no, no, no...

You find someone who has one and then walk up to them in a grocery store parking lot or car show and offer to buy the car. When they decline your generous offer of $6,000 get angry and/or offended and say, "What?!?! It's a 30 year old car! How much then?' When they respond, "It's not for sale," get smug and say, "Everything is for sale." If they continue to be stubborn scoff at them and say, "Meh... never mind, I'll just buy one of the new ones their building in Houston... They'll be way better anyway."
