I hope I don't offend anyone with this rant, I know howmuch
the average owners treasures their car. I have been seeing a lot of posts about
how much the "average" Delorean is worth. There seems to be a discrepancy
between what we think they are worth (asking prices) and what they are
actually selling for, or in the unfortunate case of #4875 getting fromthe
insurance companies. Although I hate to side with the insurance companies $13.5K
might not have been a far off assesment. Most posts I have seen for "daily
drivers" have valued them at $15-$18K but most of the purchases for the same
vehicle are closer to $11-$14K. I personally have had my D for sale for 6
months, it's a "daily driver" in pretty good shape with 36K miles on it. I'm
asking $13.5K for it and so far had no serious offers, no one haseven
asked to see it. I live close to the San Francisco Bay area, one of the most
expensive places to live in the U.S., so there is a large pool of potential
buyers. I don't know how the upper end market is selling (show cars), maybeit's
better but bottom line is the car is only worth as much as you can get for
it.
