First time posting, I have been looking in to buying a D for a while now, does anyone know this car? Just hoping to get all the information i can before purchasing. Any information you guys have would be much appreciated.

The photos show a pretty decent looking car, but it is missing any photos of the frame underneath. Make sure you get some of those before you bid.

Also ask for a picture of the dash, without the dashmat - may be just protective, but the dash and binnacle could be all cracked. Not a deal breaker, but $600 in parts + labor to replace.

With 107k miles, the seller should have a sheave of parts and repairs invoices. Get a list of what upgrades have been donw, or major parts replaced.

Isnt the mileage kind of high? I know it's located in california so,it's convenient, but this might not be the best way to,go.

Nice car. High mileage only means it is a dependable car with a non broken angle drive.

High mileage only means it is a dependable car with a non broken angle drive.I'm curious: how does that indicate a non broken angle drive? Couldn't the seller have racked up 107k miles and then had it break? Obviously with a six-figure-mileage DeLorean it's inherently going to have some room for guesswork in terms of mileage, so it's not too big of a deal, but there may potentially (key word) be thousands more miles than what the odometer shows due to driving with a broken angle drive (although, again, not necessarily).

EDIT: Something the seller may have forgotten to mention: it appears to have an anti-theft system, based on the downward-facing horn in the front-left corner of the engine compartment, which seems to be a somewhat common mod.

You should know what I meant.

It is more credible to find a Delorean with 100000 + than a Delorean with 5000 miles.

Now, it may be 107, 207, 307,000 etc.
