This one's been drained, but, seems common sense to just go see the car and decide what to offer. I bought a car on e-bay based on pictures and phone calls. I got somewhat lucky, but, there were a few surprises and it could have been a lot worse than it was. Fortunately, I didn't pay too much but the lesson learned was simple. Find a car in your area, look at it yourself and decide how much you'd be willing to pay for it. The site has told you the big things to look for like rust on the frame etc. The other stuff is pretty easy to price out. Also, all these Deloreans need money put into them continuously and as much as we all love them we really don't like to tell how much time and money we spend on them. So know up front that you'll always be spending money on it.
