Okaaaaay! I've found my first potential purchase candidate. I've got the photos back (there are lots of good ones) and info based on the questions answered. It's not exactly what I was after (I wanted a 2nd gen bonnet, ideally) but there's something about it I nevertheless like. It's got 106k miles on the clock, and is retailing at a fairly heafty (I thought for the mileage) $26k. Might be able to barter perhaps. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated
Original seller's description
Very very clean example of a DMC-12. This meticulously maintained California car is perhaps one of the cleanest we have ever received in our inventory. For its age, this DMC-12 shows very very minimal signs of exterior and interior wear----even the original dash is intact with no signs of cracking. Runs and drives as good as it looks with brand new tires just installed. Except for an aftermarket stereo, this Delorean was kept as original as possible. Very cold A/C with all books and records including a custom car cover. Needs nothing!
