I am curious if anyone has suggestions on how to evaluate a car that's been sitting for 10 or 20 years like I often see with some of the DeLoreans that come up for sale.
On the one hand, it seems like a bad idea to try to start these up without first cleaning the fuel system. On the other hand, without starting it up there is probably a lot of risk of things being discovered as not working, not just in the engine but also with potential issues in the transmission/computer (I'm mostly looking at automatics), fans, etc.
Thanks for any tips or suggestions you might have about how to navigate a purchase of a car like this!
