Donnie, I thought I was the only one crazy enough to buy a blue "D". Mine was on consignment through a local dealer. Manual trans, grey interior 1982 with 8,122 miles on it. The dealer was asking $8,500. This car was painted by a dealer when the original owner bought it. Even the rims have a blue tint to it, but the car ran and the interior was in great shape. I found every little thing wrong with the car I could and told the dealer about it. I then made my offer of $6,500. He looked at me and said no way. So I gave him my phone#and walked out. About a month and half later he called and said OK. I stole this car. It's now in Atlanta at DMCJOE's having some work done to it. I was very fortunate the dealer didn't know much about Deloreans or how to market the car. The owner that had the car on conisgnment there was a doctor and didn't really care how much it sold for. I bought this car cheaper than it cost to get my stainless "D" restored. So yes, you should be able to buy this car cheaper than a stainless steel one. Hope this helps.
