are you going fort that black one that is being sold on the forum(dmctalk.com)?



also, Don't buy the first one you see(delorean).... seriously its not a dependable daily driver or even practical. You cant even fit a gallon of milk standing up in the luggage compartment. If you have a rear tire blow out on you you cant even put it in said luggage compartment, its either leave it or your passenger on the side of the road(if you dont have the "luggage rack")


There are at least 2 other delorean owners on this forum, a third wouldn't hurt.


if this is the one you are going for you better not strip the paint off of it


Black is the only color that looks good on these cars
Yes! I don't know if you read my post up top, but this is the reason i'm selling my 240D that needs some work to intern get a 300D Turbo that needs nothing but front brakes! I know I can't have two cars that need work and I need one reliable car I can count on hence this awesome 300D.

I have been looking around and this isn't my first Delorean i'm looking at. I am looking at this black one, yes, but If i'm lucky enough to get it, that paint is coming off in a few months after I would own it. Even with some of the "imperfections" of the DMC-12 that you stated I will still take it most places because I absolutely love that car, and would sell the Mercedes to get it, which is what i'm doing.

I heard about this trouble with the gallon of milk on the DMC forums and can't you just put it behind the seats? I imagine the car can't be that bad, taking it to the store if you're going by yourself. You would have the whole passenger side, the "storage net" space behind you and then the hood which i'm sure can fit a few bags that don't have milk in them lol I was actually surpsied when I saw your name as the last post on this thread, and was like "thedon? " LOL Hopefully there will be four owners on this forum soon

It's cool talking to you on both forums
