Some of the people bought their DeLoreans from dealerships... in 1981. :}

I wouldn't buy a DeLorean from a dealership (other than a recognized
DeLorean specialist like DMC Houston et al.) because you get all the
dealership problems with none of the benefits. You have to pay the
dealer's markup; you lose the service history, owner stories, etc. which
you may (or may not) get from a private citizen; and the dealer PROBABLY
will not / should not service the car for you, unless it is an original
dealer that still handles the DeLoreans or is a particularly adventurous
Volvo dealer; most dealers treat the service department as a necessary
evil.

If you're worried about the price, go talk to them, and see what they want
for it :}
