So after many years with out a Delorean I have decided it is time for another one.
I have a 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 NAS with 38,000 miles I'm going to me listing for sale and use the only from it to buy a Delorean.
I would be open to a trade but as it is worth a lot more than most Delorean I would also require a cash payment w the trade if anyone wants to trade.
the Defender is very good to excellent condition
75,000 OBO

Just saw the ending price on that eBay listing. You can get two DeLoreans with that money!

Good luck on your search! I just recently got back into ownership again after a 13 year hiatus.

Thanks.

Thank you
I have only been out of ownership for 6 years. The Money has cleared so I am truly on the Hunt now. I don't want to by the first one I find but what do you all think of this one and what should I offer? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1981-DeLorean-DMC-12-Stainless-Steel-/332327420736?hash=item4d60420340:g:gaoAAOSw0TxZYZD-&vxp=mtr

I was hoping Toby would chime in to this post if he remembers me :)
I tried the website and could not get it to show me any of the cars for sale.
Can’t wait to be back in Stainless!!!

Good luck with the search; I purchased 1417 in Bend, Oregon and drove back across the country to MS. Started the journey in snow and ice; thread on here somewhere. You live in a beautiful area. Sold 1417 a while later and bought 10020 in CT. Another terrific, long drive home.

Did you buy it from David D. ? I don’t want to butcher the spelling on his last name. He has a lot of really nice cars
I have drove a delorean in like 6 inch’s of snow that was not fun.

Alex Brooks

what do I need to or have to spend to get a really clean well sorted Delorean ?
One that I could get in to an trust to drive anywhere anytime ?
Im gonna give DMCNW a call tomorrow and see if they have any cars.

Would cash get me a discount or just shot ?.......

Id say 25-30k will get a decently sorted one....
Im sure if you walked in with cash, you'd get a good deal.. (just be sure totell Toby I sent you..maybe I'll get some free screws...lol)

I just purchased 16377 from California for $30k back in December. Very original car with 18k miles on it. Needs some upgrades but I'm very happy with my decision.

There are quite a few good examples out there and it looks like you have the money to buy a really nice one. Keep an eye out in the usual locations and just get ready to pull the trigger once you find the one.

Thanks.

I would one that is ready to go with some upgrades I ready done. My first Delorean 01955 was a mess but Toby got it all fixed and turned it in to very nice D.
I just think for the 40K mark like the one I linked to on eBay it should have a stage 2 engine not amped up radio that I would want to remove. ( I don't like amp on the shelf behind the seats. )
When I spot the right one I'm ready to jump on a plane an drive the car home.
I just missed one CL in Seattle with a stage 2 for 40K and 8500 miles.

There's one "just down the road" being auctioned sometime this weekend:

https://www.mecum.com/lots/CA0817-299895/1981-delorean-dmc-12/

<2000 miles, though the ad contradicts itself on exactly how many.

Saw Toby last weekend and he has one car in the showroom right now (an automatic I believe) plus two more that I believe were about to be put on sale. I looked at the automatic last time I was at DMCNW and it seemed to be in decent shape, no idea on the condition of the other two.

Yes they where !!!! I just meet the truck driver to pick up the rover and see over 70k in bank account is DAMN GOOD FEELING but I need a Delorean. I only paid 24k for the rover 14 years ago so I got my money back plus a fortune

Toby can tell you all about my car if you are interested, feel free to shoot me a pm. vin is 5312, Blakes car if you want to call him and ask him as well. He knows, i call him and spam him every few weeks lol

I bought A Delorean from Chris ( 63SWC) vin 10020. After looking at the pictures Chris sent me this morning and I knew I was the right car for me. My Brother Sam and I are flying out on September 4th and will complete the final payment and drive 10020 back to her new home in Bend Oregon.

I wish we could get out to Mississippi sooner but with all the travel in to Central Oregon for the solar eclipse Monday flights are just booked with people going home.

I will be starting a new thread about the journey home when the date gets closer.

Thank you all for your help !!! Now I need to mail app for the Delorean club. :race:

I was a first timer at the last Forest Grove tech session. These are a fantastic feature for DeLorean owners. In and of itself make PNDC membership a great deal!
