Vehicle Detail
We purchased this DeLorean at DeLorean Motor Company in Humble, Texas seven years ago. We replaced all of the belts, hoses, door gaskets and electrical wiring. My son was the driver during the first year, but he moved away to college and we drive it very infrequently. It has been garaged, but has been mechanically maintained and has a current registration and inspection. The engine runs beautifully, the air conditioner is good, and the body has no problems. Tires are very low mileage. It has a five speed standard transmission. The interior is clean but has normal wear for a 29-year-old vehicle. The radio/cassette player seemed to get warm when operated and has been disconnected. This is a fun car to drive and is guaranteed to turn heads. The car is used, sold "as is" and the sale will be final. The full dealer's maintenance manual is included with the purchase. Winning bidder must provide a $500 deposit at the end of the auction, and remit the balance within one week. The car is in the Houston, Texas area and serious bidders can contact me to arrange to see the vehicle.On Jul-29-10 at 19:23:28 PDT, seller added the following information: We purchased this DeLorean at DeLorean Motor Company in Humble, Texas seven years ago.

Here are answers to the most common ones: There are more pictures of the interior. Some asked for pictures of the underside or headliner after these were taken, and I have two pictures left, so I will add them as soon as I can. Issues that I know about: The power door lock has been disabled, because the driver circuit board was drawing current even when the door was disconnected. I removed it and the doors must be locked manually or with the key. The door gaskets have been replaced but they need some adhesive. They are not cracked. The car does not smoke or use oil, and the garage floor does not have any oils spots. We can do a wire transfer for international buyers. It sounds good when it runs, brakes and clutch are good. It is not a turbo. No cracks on the windshield. Tires are good. No dings or dents on the body. The car has a clear title and we have owned it for 7 years. Windshield wipers work. Trunk, doors and hood all open and close properly. I will try to answer everyone - if I have left anything out, please don't hesitate.
