I wanted one for a long time, too. I'm afraid the "cheap" doesn't really describe the going market rate. Depreciation on this car has been greatly offset by its rarity due to low production numbers.

I used car showroom near my house has one inside, but I've never looked to see if it was for sale. Shall I check?

Wink Right...

Good luck with that. I don't remeber ever seeing one for sale for less than $15K.

Maybe for a grand you could buy one door or something...

My friend who has bought and restored 3 and is on his 4 (I think) gets them cheaper than that, think around $10,000.

Ya getting one for a $1,000 would be do good a deal:alien:

Bet it wouldn't come with a flux capcitor either

That'd be awesome...it would be much more exotic and exclusive, would probably impress the ladies more as well

I had a friend looking for one, and for a fully restored, it would cost around $30,000.

I can understand why though. I have only seen one DeLorean on the road. I have even seen one McLaren F1 on the road and that is here in the states. That tells you how rare a Delorean is.

Good luck.

It's funny how lots of people want one now but production was stopped because nobody wanted any back then... especially since it was totally underpowered

can you say.... 0-100mph in 40.0s

ouch

that would be such a hassle

you might be able to find one in a junkyard... but i REALLY doubt it, heh

then you could use the panel off a wrecked one.... there might be a company that makes them
that would be a pretty good business oppurtunity, cause then everyone would have to go to you

Parts are REALLY easy to get and cheap. The Delorean Motor Company still exists in Texas, and they refurbish old Deloreans, add factory options, offer a 195 hp upgrade, lower stiffer suspension that was originally planned to be used, but couldn't be because of the US's stupid laws at the time. You can also get a 170 MPH as opposed to the 80 MPH speedo that was also required at the time. Stereo upgrades are available. On www.delorean.com, you can configure your own, picking options, interior color, if you want the hp upgrade, if you want the original engine rebuilt, or a new crate motor put in, etc. Check it out
