We are Euclid Car Co. at 1231 E. 286th St., Euclid, OH 44132. We have been in the used car business for over 40 years and we love to sell cars on eBay. The buyer gets a car he or she wants, and the dealer gets a car sold. Don't participate in the auction if you're not 100% sure you can pay for the car when the auction is over. We depend on the sales of these cars for income to our used car lot. eBay considers the winner to be in a binding contract with Euclid Car Co., so any non-paying bidder will be reported to eBay. Please do not call us when the auction is over to tell us:
My wife won't let me buy the car.
I hit the button by mistake.
My son or daughter bought the car on my account and I don't want it.
The car is too far away, I don't want it.
etc, etc.
We only accept wires, certified checks, and cash. We do not take deposits, Paypal, credit cards (cash or debit), or checks in the mail. We will not deal with a loan from your bank. All cars must be paid for within 3 days of the auction ending, no excuses. Please make sure you have the funds available before you bid on our vehicles. Thank you very much for taking the time to read this, and we're sure that all other car dealers feel the same.
If you're the lucky winner of our auction, we will email you immediately to congratulate you and give you our number, 216-990-3880 (Lou). Most of our auctions end between 7 PM and 10 PM. We would like a call from the winner within 12 hours of auction ending so we know that they are a real buyer. If not, we will offer it to the 2nd highest bidder. If the original winner has still not contacted us after 4 days they will be reported to eBay as a non-paying bidder. Thank you again for reading.
This is a no-reserve auction, which means that the last highest bidder when the auction is over will win the car. Every time you bid on the car keep in mind that you have an opportunity to be the owner, so your bid means something.
We encourage all bidders to stop out, personally examine the car and drive it for themselves. If you can’t personally make it out to check out this vehicle, simply find a local mechanic to look at the vehicle and give you a personal report on the condition. Ebay also offers a service like this! Please do this BEFORE bidding on the vehicle!
This is an as-is vehicle, which means that once you buy it, you own it with all faults (known or unknown). With the purchase of this vehicle, the buyer will pay for all repairs. We sell all cars as-is, which means you will pay all costs for any repairs. The dealer assumes no responsibility for any repairs regardless of any oral statements about the vehicle.
If you need a 30-day tag, it’s $18.50. We handle the transfer of the title. We will also have to collect the tax for your county if you live in one of the following states: Arizona, California, Florida, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Ohio, and South Carolina.
We would like the vehicle picked up from our lot within 7 days of auction ending. There will be a $100 paperwork fee added on to the final sale price of the vehicle, along with a $15 title fee. By Ohio law, we must transfer this title into your name. The reason being is that if we would just send you the title and it was to get lost, there would be a problem. Or if we would send you the title and you didn't transfer it for several years and it got lost, it would be an even bigger problem. We follow the law of our state and will make sure that the title is transferred correctly for all customers. We will not pay any shipping fees, but we would be glad to assist your shipper in picking up your vehicle. If you have any questions, call Lou at 216-990-3880. Good luck bidding!
Thank you for looking at our 1981 DeLorean. This car has 10, 720 actual miles and a clean title. This car was purchased new by a Ford executive, and he sold it in 1983 with 3, 000 miles on it to the gentleman that I purchased it from. There were only about 100 miles put on this car a year for the last 13 years. When we got the car, we had the air conditioning revived, which means that there were no leaks in the system, but the original fluid went dead and we had to convert it over so that the air blows cold now. We also wanted our mechanic to tune it up but he wasn't that familiar with DeLoreans so the tuneup parts come with the car. It's possible that this car was only tuned up once or twice throughout its whole lifetime since it wasn't driven very much.
All the receipts from when the original owner had the car, are in a folder and the second owner that we purchased the car from who owned it for 33 years rebuilt the transmission in 2003 with 9, 300 miles. I'm not sure how good or bad Delorean transmissions are, but this one here was totally rebuilt 1, 400 miles ago, and that's one thing you'll probably never have to worry about. We like the idea of this car being automatic VS. stick, because now any member of the family can drive it. The body, as you see in all the pictures, is really really nice. We can't imagine it being much nicer than it is for a 35 year old car. The interior is also all original and in absolutely fantastic condition; please view all the pictures. This car spent most of its life in storage, so if you win the car I would suggest having everything checked out before you use it as a daily driver, since everything is original and everything is 35 years old. But we've been driving it around, on both city streets and the freeway and it seems to run okay.
This DeLorean has six struts to hold up all the doors. They're all weak except for the driver's door since it was replaced. You can order a set of six from the DeLorean catalogue for about $200. The power mirrors work, but certain angles don't turn. The driver's power window works, but the passenger's power window clicks but sticks. The car has all 4 original DMC wheels. The car is sitting on all 4 original tires, and they're not dry rotted whatsoever. Being that we're selling this car no reserve, I'm sure that if you're the highest bidder, you'll be winning the car at a very fair price. If you want to buy the car and end the auction early, feel free to send us your offer, but please remember we can't cancel auctions within the last 12 hours of the sale. Thanks again for looking.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL BIDDERS!
