I have gotten an opinion from one Delorean owner but would like some more 
feedback on how this deal sounds.

Thanks to everyone in advance.

Well if this helps you out I can offer this advice. The DeLorean I recently 
bought had an asking price of $16,500 as well. I actually wound up paying 
$16,000 My DeLorean has 7,500 miles. The interior is like showroom new, 
The body is perfect except for a ding the size of a pinhead, And the frame 
and underside are like new. The car runs great and basically looks almost 
like it is brand new. I think the DeLorean you are looking at is a little 
high. Although I think I got a great deal on my D I think you should not 
limit your search to Florida. I live in NJ and at first had the same 
intention of finding a D in the area but I wound up buying one I found un 
Michigan. It was WELL worth the trip out to pick it up. Go to DMC Houston's 
website and get prices on the parts you need such as the dash which is very 
expensive. Then expect to spend another thousand or two to do the factory 
upgrades and receommended repairs if they havent been done. I would try to 
stay away from any sun damaged interior D's as they usually wind up costing 
more to restore than a D with a nice interior would have cost you. Hope this 
helps
