Check out odoc.ca/buy-and-sell/ There are a few cars in the GTA at the moment. If they are not suitable to you, check out wellsauto.ca or call (519) 766-3440 if there is nothing online at the moment. We are finding cars and hearing about cars all the time, so if there is nothing available that works for you right now, things could be completely different in a few weeks or a couple of months.

Thanks for the feed back great info. The only one in Toronto is not for sale any more. But hope will be contacting the others soon.
What would be the fair price of a good condition trouble free one in canada. I would love to buy the perfect condition ones but maybe it will be unaffordable.

Thanks again

$30,000 - $40,000 if you ask me.

$30,000 - $40,000 if you ask me.

I'm in agreement with this.

I've felt that if someone offered me $50k I'd take it immediately, $30k and I would turn it down, and $40k would make me seriously mull it over.

Is there a reason you are limiting yourself to a city / province?

[17076]

Just checked the ODOC Marketplace Page listing 3 DeLoreans for sale within a short (1 hour) drive from Toronto.

If you are serious about buying in Ontario you need to do 2 things

1. Talk to Justin at Wells Auto in Milton ... I think he has something like 8 of them.

2. Join ODOC - it's free, it's not a Club... it's a Canadian DeLorean Resource.

PS - I also know of a car for sale in Newfoundland... but I have not put it up on the www.odoc.ca site yet because I am waiting for a Photo.


There is also an ODOC Group on Facebook which is quite active.

Thanks for the recommendation guys, just had a talk with yassobarko and sounds like we just may have the D for him :)

Thanks again,

Everyone IS selling because everything is always for sale. For the right price. You just missed the mark that's all.

I'd like to hear more about these "trouble free" delorean's? lol

Those are the ones that people don't just "get running" or "put back on the road". The trouble free part comes at a price which a lot of perspective buyers don't take into account for when figuring on restoration costs.

There are indeed trouble free DeLoreans, I happen to have one myself as do a lot of people here but picking one up at 25k on ebay and changing the fluids does not a trouble free DeLorean make. This is why I contend that the high priced DeLoreans (over 35k) are often dismissed for lower priced more troublesome cars because the headaches those 15 to 20k cars will give are not as obvious to new buyers

Justin, you should ask Tamir about getting a vendor account so your posts are red (or whatever the colour is). Also, I can never remember your user name, so it's a little tricky to tell new people who to search for. Just my $0.02.

It was sarcasm, but yes, would how ever disagree that any delorean is truly "trouble free"

Np Dave, I'll message him :thumbup:

The real "trouble free" ones, are the ones parked in the garage 10 years ago and haven't given a minute of trouble since.

[baldwinsusa]

I haven't had any trouble with mine since selling it. But I must love trouble because I'm still looking for my second....Ah, the addiction is real

With proper maintenance and routine inspection a DeLorean can be a trouble-free car. During driving season, I make it a point to check the fluids and tire pressures every week. I also do a visual check of belts and engine compartment hoses every fill-up. At each oil change I do a visual check under the car and a shake down of the front end. It's amazing how a simple inspection can identify potential problems before they begin. I've also noticed that my Delorean's reliability has an inverse relationship with the number of spare parts and tools that I carry. Hence, a trunkful of spare parts and tools results in a more reliable Delorean. In contrast, if I leave my spare alternator in my other DeLorean, the alternator will likely fail 50 miles from home ;-)

[Jonathan]

Completely agree with what Michael and Andrew (and Dermot!) said about trouble free and reliability.

The cars get more reliable the more you use them, most of us understand this. What can get new owners in trouble (pardon the pun) is when they don't understand or "know" their car, because of no time behind the wheel, or no time doing the repairs themselves, and they don't pick up on small and subtle changes in the way things sound or feel.

It is just a car, but the better you know your own, the more likely I think it is that any trouble you might have is of the minor variety. Big problems generally come to those that just write a cheque for the best car they can find and then hand it off to a mechanic they know to sort it out.

That kind of "recipe for disaster" (and this is just my opinion) is what happens when someone shows up new, gets a car, and then just as promptly disappears. Catch 22 of sorts in that in order to have some luck with these cars long term, you have to have some long term experience with them, and specifically the one you drive yourself.

Patience, time, money, minimal nagging from your peanut gallery and a substantial vocabulary of swear words is what I think the winning recipe is with these cars.

[Gfrank]

I never said they aren't reliable cars, none of mine have ever left me stranded. I also never said major break down, but a delorean (like any old car) always seems to want something, even if you just want to tinker or adjust something. Thus imo never "trouble free"

[DMCMW Dave]

The trouble is free. It's fixing the trouble that costs money.

[sdg3205]

All cars are money pits.

Lol. Bravo Dave.
