Bruce, I bought a one owner,low milage, #11004 82 3 years ago and paid a fair price for it, and with up dates have spent less than $500.00 on it. You can walk around a car and point out all the things it needs or you want and just keep running the price up to the point you don't buy it, it's a almost 20 year old car. Rubber is going to rot and parts age going to fatigue. But that doesn't you have to make it perfect new again to enjoy it. I have 3 De Loreans in different stages, but i like them all and there great cars and I like to work on them to get a better understanding as to why some things were done.
