    I got better sales results for parts on DMCToday than on DMCTalk.

    Though, overall, I want to get out of the DeLorean community and, as to how I feel about the process of selling my car, it's simple:

    I was hoping that one of these people who are always appearing and saying that they're doing their research and waiting for the "right" car to show up would have seen what a screaming deal mine was and buy it. I don't have the time or spare resources to dedicate to selling the car at an auction and I'm not losing any more money on it.

    Case in point, there's this car that sold through DMC Midwest $45,000.

    http://dmcmidwest.com/delorean/6797/

    What did it have over mine? Mine has 20,000 more miles and a Stage II upgrade as well as all the suspension and handling upgrades for $15,000 LESS!

    I don't think that there was anything wrong with my eBay ad and that I have already severely undercut the value of my car as it is.

    How about this one?

    http://delorean.com/delorean/10682/

    They sold it, per their website, for $35,000. It has under 500 miles difference and next to NOTHING done to it.

    If they sell this one at $32,500, the buyer is an idiot.

    My car, for $2,500 less, has 11,000 fewer miles and a complete service history that exceeds my asking price.

    The same goes for this car, though, they only have 3,000 more miles than I do.

    The point I'm trying to make with all of these links is that there is next to no research being done by the general DeLorean-buying public and either there are a number of saps over-paying for these cars or DMCH lies through their website about what they sell them for.

    Interested

    It sounds like you've had a tough time convincing people of the imporvments and work done on this car. I'm much more open minded. I live in Greenfield, so I'm not far a way. If we could setup a time, I'd like to see it, look over all of the documentation and do quick test drive. I have a mechanic that I could probably get a look over from (of course at my expense). He's in Oak Creek. I'd like to have hin do some quick compression tests and look over the general condition. If it's as good as it sounds, we might make this a quick deal without having to haggle.
    If you're interested in talking, let me know the best way to contact you directly and we can plan something.

    A reminder that my car is still for sale and that I'm willing to negotiate on the price, within reason.

    Here's a link to the Craigslist ad with full details:
