One step forward two steps back it seems :roll:

So here's a question then; What do you think my cost/chances would be with this one
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/?cmd=ViewItem&_trksid=p5197.c0.m619&item=221027751055#ht_500wt_1182

I'm not too worried about the cosmetic issues for now, but the pictures of the engine looks like it might result in a haemorrhage of my wallet to get reliable. That is, reliable in DeLorean terms ;D


Looks OK, but you definitely need to see pictures of the frame and get a complete list of the work that's been done on the car...

I actually got her back on board with the idea, it was just raw cost that stopped me going for that particular D. Missed out on that one on ebay too, but taking a look at a couple of the others... It's only a matter of time now :D

Do the old jedi mind trick on a lady......

(The format is the same for anything you want to buy....tv, blu-ray player etc. etc.)

Say something like "Oh love, I would love to buy a DeLorean but they go for about £25k. I don't think I will get one they are a bit too expensive..."

Then, wait for a week at least for the fact to settle.

Casually mention "Oh love, I managed to find a DeLorean for ONLY £18k!"
By the ladys reckoning, you have SAVED £7k !!!!!

Yes, that is right......you have SAVED money, regardless if you were going to spend that in the first place or not........

Do the same for the cost of the tax and insurance too.
"Oh, the TAX is £450".......(1 week later) "Oooh it is ONLY £185"

I have given you gold here, try it out..... :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

BTW, Substitute saying "love" to whatever you call the other half.....

Good luck. :thumbsup:

Or you could do what i do and tell where to go, tell her you earn your money so I do what i want with it, like it or lump it, and if you don't like it leave!!! that method does have it's draw backs though, Leg-over becomes more scarce!!!!
